Words etched in Stone

Breathtaking beauty flares color astounding, 
canvas of autumn paints pictures surrounding. 

Passions’ stream vivid expressing all colors, 
aspens and oaks “dyeing” leaves with the others.

Watching them express their maturity’s glory, 
is a lesson from nature in this equinox story.

Reaching up from the earth as they play out the season’s final scene, all of their brilliance of colors, once green.

Oh Painted sky's wind, does tell me, 
with its fridged swirlings in my ears. 

North winds will blow out the candles of our years.

Words etched in stone for everyone to see, 
as the trees elegantly accept .......their destiny.
