Crisp autumn bells
Shiver in the breeze
Amongst the tender mulberry
And the grand evergreens
Enchanted they dance
A swirling colorful sea
Those delicate golden clusters
Come alive just for me

fall
Autumn revelations
Stretch out your hand
Pull me in
Feel the measure of my love
From where it begins
Set deep in the backdrop
Of a brisk autumn day
My love awaits
And it’s there to stay
Once you grasp hold
Never let go
The boughs may break
But I want you to know
That in this life
You can reach me on a breeze
Always there to comfort
And put you at ease
So don’t ever forget
This promise I give
Now take hold of my hand
And begin to live

Woodland white
She stumbled upon a forest
Littered with crimson foliage and woodland white
And serenity found her there
Amidst the heavenly glow of the flaxen moonlight
The shadows were oddly comforting
Wrapping her in solace from the branches up high
And as she traversed her way through the verdure
She was awestruck by the moonlit sky
The old spotted owls called out to her
Welcoming her in like a dear old friend
And the peacefulness she found there
Was something she knew she could forever depend
