Lets take a walk in the forest
Treading on red gold and brown
Leaves that the Autumn winds have spread
Lay scattered on the ground
A few short months ago the leaves were fresh and green
But the magic of nature has worked
Now red gold and russet is seen
In the gentle breeze the leaves do fall
To lay in carpet rows all around
This is the season I love the most
When the air is fresh and clean
A coloured interlude before nature takes her rest
Before once again new life is born
And the earth once more refreshed
This is the season of plenty, nourishment there for all
The season we call Autumn and some of you call it Fall
All to soon Winter will come
The season of festivals and fun
Soon it will be time to sit by the fire
To write and tell of the year just expired
To sit and reflect on the things we have seen
And paint pictures of where we have been
Without the magic of nature, of the bounty that nature provides
No one would be here today, None would be able to survive
It's thanks to her that I can sit here and write
Or maybe just dream sitting in front of my log burning fire
It's been a long time since I last posted here and a lot has gone on in my life. Four hours of surgery on my spine means that at 80 my life can start again
