A Season Of New Beginnings

Inspire by someone talking bout how Autumn turning so quickly. I love this season. The picture was taken by me.

 

In the blink of an eye

Green turns to gold

Showering the Earth

With riches

Money can’t buy.

The landscape

Becomes a portrait

Even Ansel Adams

Couldn’t design.

Sun soaked skin

Finds natural relief

From natures cool breath

Like a burning soul

Finding its mate

Written in the stars.

It’s this change of season

That says starting over

Is okay after falling.

The picture is striking, and your words certainly do capture the lovely aspects of fall. Your descriptions make me want to head for a mug of apple cider and piece of pumkin pie!
And, oh how fitting are the last lines in which you remind us that there is hope after defeat!
A wonderful poem!

Cowboy, it is a perfect fall poem. It almost could be separated into 4-line stanzas for fuller effect, but it was gloriously written. Thank you!

Thank you so kindly for the sweet review and suggestion.

I sat in my lawn chair today feeling the warm sun, knowing the leaves will soon be changing colors and falling. Autumn for me is a time of renewal. Its a chance to start over and improve over the year before. Mostly, its a time to enjoy the brisk air and seasonal paintings autumn brings.

This is one I never saw from you and its just as good and exciting as when you first wrote it.

Good poem Dale

Relic.

Correction: I meant to say its just as relevant as when you first wrote it. :)

Dale...This is beautiful...I love the Autumnal feeling also. It is a busy time here as folks start to prepare for the long winter. I smiled as I read this, because I sit in my garden with a cup of tea every morning after breakfast, and have just these thoughts as I stare at my big old tree, which tells me lots of stories. However I am in dire need of my brekky now...so I must get up and crack on.
Thanks for share

Beautiful! And we so miss that call, don't we? There is life and rebirth even in the darkest side of nature....helps me to remember that through the winter lol
I adore Autumn but dread the darker nights and other aspects of it...claustrophobic to me....
This is glorious love!

I love the fall. I remember a trip I took to the mountains in North Carolina and the colors were simply breathtaking. The reds reminded me of fire and the golds were like beautiful stunning jewels. Simply a glorious scene. This was a very beautiful and stunning piece. It is nice to see the earth change.

I really like this. It's subtle, and beautiful. The ending great- it reminds me that it's okay to change, and turn over a new leaf. :) Good write

This creates a beautiful scene of autumn, a delight for all the senses. Winter is just around the corner and it is really a good time to start over!
