autumn colours

I am in awe of the changes which occur in the fall.
Autumn
By: Winssome Miller-Rowe November 2015


A brisk chill in the air
Reminds me Christmas will soon be here
My thoughts take a leap to Jamaica
And warmth, and family and friendly gala.

The dark red of the trees
Remind me of sorrel drink
And the yellows of bright shining sun
For a moment - there is a longing

But the beauty of natures palette
Takes my attention away
To focus on the colours of Autumn
As the trees make their awesome display

Some trees are covered in Yellow
Sometimes they are totally red
There’s variety of colours as leaves change their green
One never knows what is ahead.

The Evergreens feature, not to be outdone
And the Holly’s shiny leaves give everyone a run
But the assortment of colours brings warmth to my heart
There’s a feeling of Peace I enjoy nature’s Art.

A single leaf trembles, hanging by a thread
I watch it flutter down to it’s bed
A wind whips up and leaves fall like rain
The scenery changes again and again

Reflections of autumn show the rhythms of life
Of circles and seasons and daylight and night
As trees become bare and winter sets in
Until Spring emerges and new life begins.


Written in November in Atlanta as Autums brought the cold and the beautiful colours od Autumn.
