Let Me See

Let Me See

Let me see the colors of coming cool fall.
Scarlets and oranges, as I recall
Changing the landscape an inch at a time
Leaves on tall trees weaving natural rhymes,
a walk in the woods through a magical hall.

Nature's unrestrained beauty, certainly, enthralls
Bright pigments interwoven, creating leaves' sprawl.
An artist's rendering isn't near as sublime
Let me see...

Colors cascading in a drifting freefall.
These glorious images are a gift, not small.
This vibrancy of nature can't be just mine.
This pattern of life repeats throughout time.
Nature's gifts of her wonders are given to all
Let me see...
