Autumnal Joy

A smiled played on her lips
as she watched the autumn leaves dance,
the air was alive with the sea
and the sky was awash in a orangey glow,
her heart felt so full of life
that joyous tears filled her sparkling eyes,
spilled down her rosy cheeks
and nestled softly in her pumpkin sweater.

    How wonderful to feel tears of joy
    while leaves fall from bleeding trees
    trading green for yellow-'n-brown
    And winter's cold fuels the fire inside

    very nice read, BE, really

    You're welcome jamjam--colour your world! :)

    Agreed, civvy! Love long walks on cool autumn days... :) I think I love every season though, 'cept for those muggy, smoggyfoggy summer scummy days! :p

    Thanks, PN!! It'd be cool to be able to add smileys too!!!! :D:D:D:D But, then my signature would be all emoticonica! :p;)

    Jamal, thank you! :) Sitting by a wood burning fireplace, drinking hot chocolate, after coming home in the deep, cold of winter has got to be one of the best feelings ever! :)

    The winter's chill,
    bone-cold in snowy drifts,
    hot chocolate, warmed skin,
    cozied up by the fire, until it lifts.

    The autumn leaves danced
    the cooler breeze whistled thru the trees
    as the hot summer days slowly gave way,
    to cool nights and brisk air
    the breeze blew back her hair
    and orange sun shone
    on the tears from her ssparkling eyes
    as thoughts of pumpkins and bobbing for apples
    filled her with delight

    As the sun dipped over the horizon
    a full Harvest Moon rose in the atumn sky
    and dreams of sugar plums
    and candied apples
    filled her spirit with sweet smiles
    that seasons are beautiful cycles
    like rotating spokes on a cycle----
    and keep comin' around
    with each trip
    taking her further on up the road, of life
    Create Good Things........
