Leaves Change Color

As the leaves change color So do I change my mood I love the autumn months They are cool to the touch And filled with a feeling Of a breeze that ignites My infinite possibilities Deep within my soul As the pumpkins come And the spices alleviate The brooks become a haven For the mind to escape And the sun becomes a friend Unlike before when it suffocated And produced scars Where the heat hurt But now its power is reduced And the breeze comes alive With a bite And the grasses blow Within the cool winds Where my mind grows Full of ideas, those of life Those of tender hearts And feelings of love From this season of change Where colors of orange Brown, yellow, and gold All hold a special part Within me, and fill me With an awe of tranquility I cherish each year Now the leaves have blown Upon the ground Winter makes its call But don’t frown White blessings come home This evening Russell Sivey
