Lovely Autumn

I am really looking forward to autumn. I love this season because of it’s colours: amazing , brilliant and vivid colours.
Amazingly red shades in nature, last blooming of the nature, showing it’s beautiful dress before going to sleep in winter.
But only to get out of bed in spring with it’s beauty. Every season has it’s charme.

The deep blue says it is autumn.
The sky is never this color
Except for days of cool, clear breeze
And leaves falling one on another.

The gold leaves say the year is ending
In its wild-hued conflagration.
The gentle season of harvest time
And happy fall celebration.

The orange says Halloween’s nearing
And Thanksgiving’s not far behind.
The heat of the summer is waning fast,
And a peace fills my heart and mind.

The colors of fall are all calling,
And my heart hears their song so clear.
Gray wintertime waits, but let’s all celebrate
The brilliance of this time of year!
