Sitting quietly, at a high crest
With sun shining, through the early frost
I knew I was seeing God’s very best
Beauty captured, yet. . . Soon to be lost
Looking to the east of the mountain
Or gazing across, toward the west
A “Kaleidoscope” of wonderful colors
Natures beauty, Autumn’s bequest
Golden splashes, like bright sunburst
Mixed with the color of pomegranate
Blatant beauty, bringing a thirst . . . for
“Mother Nature” colorfully slanted
Colors weaving, creating a masterpiece
Patterns, of every shape and size
Glorious trees, October’s breeze
A Kaleidoscope of beauty
. . . . As the leaves fly by!
