Autumn Fire
Those fiery leaves, before our eyes,
fall down like flames from autumn skies,
and twirl with breezes to the ground;
begin to swirl and dance around.
With such intensity, they turned,
from velvet green to deep red-burned,
outshining softer tans and golds,
bright flaming artistry unfolds.
And when the sun highlights deep hues
of leaves, that burn with crimson views,
the fires within our hearts ignite
to match the glow of fall's delight.
Here hand in hand, we feel the fire
that autumn colors so inspire
and as we live our 'autumn years'
we share her glow till snow appears.
