Exceptional Autumn soon will tighten its grip Well traveled steps by JLR Take A Walk Poetry contest entry

Walk with me among the trees as they begin to shed their leaves. This pathway traveled many a time. Exhausted, the shriveled leaves with colors going flat, are in transition. A new mission; to decay and blend in the clay. The shadows still give way to Autumn sun as leaf upon leaf fall to the ground. Building a blanket at the feet of the oak. As Autumn shuffles into winter's grey, the blanket of leaves will slowly brew seeping into the earth their last bit'o spirit. Preparing the feet of the mighty oak to drink deep from mother earth so in Spring a new leaf will be brought forth.   Recognized Author Notes In anticipation, fall always my favorite season, I look forward to the emergence of spring and the re-birthing that surround me
