The smell in the air
has changed –
it’s more crisp
it’s more clear
but the sun steps up the day
still grateful when a breeze will play
with your hair
on your skin
the rays tan
a tanned shin
And evening strolls in with a quiet surprise
promising a summer’s eve but making it a lie
There’s still green in abundance
but a yellow starts to show
on the leaves further down
on the branches hanging low
And I wrap my blankets closer
as night saunters in
But I glow warmly in the dark –
it’s the sunburn on my shin

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem about Autumn. I love the colours of Autumn but I hate the cold nights. My favourite season is Summer since it is warm, the rain cools you without freezing your brain inside your head. Love and peace to you always Kait, hope you’re enjoying your weekend and have a great week to come xoxo
