This is more appropriate for November but I could not wait with the first day of Autumn I had to post.

Autumn Days

________________________________________

I love temperate autumn days
with cool breezes blowing,
Old maple trees heavy with leaves
of gold and red, glowing.
Smoke curling into the silk gray sky
from home fires burning
with memories of olden days
like scrapbook pages turning.
I love cider or sip of wine
with family sharing;
Thanksgiving greetings lined up
along the hearth from friends still caring.
The dog sprawled out across my feet
the cat sweetly purring,
Life's blessings all around
my eyes blurring
with gratitude and nostalgia stirring.
