How gentle and how blissful does the sleepy Autumn seem,
like a child whose auburn hair spills on soft pillows of the earth;
leaves like heavy eyelids drift off as if into dreams;
Winter will tuck her in and she’ll awake with Spring's rebirth
and oh, what a beautiful awakening that will be;
bright sun, blue skies, birdsong and green on every tree
but, till then, dear Mother Nature, sleep peacefully.

What an amazing read JoHn, I just love the Autumn with its colours. I loved the way you described the child with auburn hair, her hair spills on soft pillows of the earth. Really captivating and gave me such a smile. Thankyou for sharing this one. Jenny.

Thanks, Jenny. Yes, Autumn has its bright colours and beauty, like Spring and Summer. I was born in Autumn and it has always been my favourite season. Very glad you enjoyed it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
