On this October Day

I noticed that sunlight illuminates autums leaves, as if they have absorbed the light's energy setting them aglow.

I sit in my garden.

A cool breeze blows gently,

On this October day.

Rhythmic, fluttering movements,

Shapes of liquid gold, red, amber, and orange,

Some spinning, twirling multidirectional,

Downward falling,

Creating a carpet effect on the still green grass.

Tree trunks so much darker

Against their intense vibrant colored leaves.

The backlight of sun rays illuminates

Giving these shapes an almost translucency.

Reminding me of stained glass

Against a beautiful blue sky.

An inner energy infused into these leaves

Setting them aglow.

Nature at her healing best.

Tranquility is my state of mind,

On this October day.

As I sit in my garden gazing,

At this amazing illuminative sight to behold.

One that will be with me forevermore.

This is an enchanting poem, Enchantment! I'm not sure about the line "Nature at her healing best" to describe colorful autumn leaves; after all, they're dying!
