In Wind's Flight

russet hues of fall
season's color in wind's flight
winter light calling.

Autumn ~ GIOVANNI MARRADI ~ Just for you

Known Be

Known be the touch and the calling of the wind
The ripples upon waters caressed by the sun
The fleeting dance of leaves alight
Trees dressed in hues of majestic delight
The music, the music, such sweet surrender
The changing season, this Autumn splendor.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Season's Grace

Leaves at rest in colorful array
Such be the gifts of this Fall day
Gathered near the tall Oak tree
The leaves of Fall a blanket they be
Fallen branches and twigs of great number
Spoils of rain, wind and sounding thunder
With leaves alight the wind does bring
The acorns, the seedlings, for yet the new Spring
Each season's grace in joy to receive
'Tis the Creator, again conceived.

October's Gift This Hour

As I step into my garden I to greet
The sounding feel of leaves below my feet
A quiet presence deep within
All calmed is the daunting din
From that mighty Oak tree ever strong and tall
This blanket of fallen leaves, gift of Fall
Amber, red, orange and colors of gold
Trees of Birch, Dogwood, mark time and a story told
Leaves alight and with winds do flee
Season of change the presence of Fall's decree
Torrential rain and south winds yesternight
Harken to the rising of morning's new light
The messengers of storm now silent of sound
Leaves, twigs and branches rest upon ground
Warming sun yet chilled be the morning air
October's gift this hour, sky so blue so fair.
