Rich glowing colours

Crisp Autumn day

Summer long forgotten 

Winter on the way

We walked in the park

Crackle of leaves

Watched their joyful dance

In a sudden breeze

Blue skies transformed

Mesmeric ease

Swollen clouds appeared

Intent on release

Rain fell

Fierce pitter patter

Laughing, hand in hand

We ran for cover

Canopy of trees

Scented shelter

Breathed deeply

Fragrance of Nature

Shower soon over

Wispy sun shimmered

Water diamonds twinkled

Foliage glimmered

Love in our hearts

Faces aglow

Still recall your smile 

As November winds blow
