As I sit comfortably on my couch and gaze out my window,
It is a blustery fall day, and the oak tree is aglow:
Yellow leaves against the clear blue sky,
The sun is shining brightly, and leaves are floating by,
Leaves are swirling around the ground like dancers on stage,
Remnants of a gulf coast hurricane has the weather in a
rage,
Unseasonably tropical weather and torrents of rain have
already subsided,
Squirrels are running up and down the tree, all excited,
Acorns are plentiful, and they gather their share,
It soon will be winter, and the trees are getting bare,
But today as I sit, I can’t help but recall,
The beautiful time of the year that is fall,
The flag on the porch is steadily waving in the breeze,
In my mind I step out there beneath the trees,
I hear the crunching of dry leaves under my feet,
I breath the fresh, crisp air that is so sweet,
I feel the sunshine beating down upon face,
I am lost in time while in this incredibly wonderful place,
Then at last, my thoughts return to the indoors,
Where I quietly resume my household chores,
Oh, but to dream of a peaceful retreat,
When it’s right outside my door between here and the street!
