AUTUMN SONG
Warm, Crispy Autumn
Driving along the Backroads
Crops, and Farms and Fields
Sun Rising Slowly
Old Man in Middle of Road
Tractor Putts Along
Corn Stalks, Dry, Fading
Pumpkins, Apples, Road-Side Stands
Run on Trust Alone
Red Barn Peeling Paint
Will it hold on through Winter?
Tired, Sagging Low
Smell of Burning Leaves
Wafts through my Open Window
Scenes from Days Gone By
Set out this Morning
Hurrying to Appointment
Rush to be on Time
Not Realizing
My Journey, Destination
were One and the Same
Savor Earth's Goodness
Extraordinary Fall
Such a Simple Bliss
