AUTUMN OF THE YEAR
Poetry by M. Linda Steffey
Earth is touched with gold In the autumn of the year Leaves crunch beneath your feet And winter's drawing near...
The honking of departing geese Warms and hurts my heart I watch them in the autumn chill Sad with them to part.....
The fields are bare and brown now The trees are stark and bare I smell pumpkin pies baking And other things made with care...
The harvest is completed The fireplace is ablaze Take a walk in chilling twilight Beneath a pale moonlight's haze...
A hearty stew is cooking slow Sweet aroma of fresh bread Knit hats, warm coats, mittens And cozy blankets on the bed....
Happy Holidays are near now Good memories, dear friends Whispering voices...secrets The Christmas cards you'll send...
Winter skies will bring the snow Your sleeping cat on lap Purring contentment lulls you And you both take a nap....
Yes, autumn is a chilling time But one I wouldn't miss For under all its lifeless look Is the promise of springtime's kiss....
