Autumn Meditations

I step outside
On a cool autumn day
The sky is gray

Colored leaves
Crunch as I tread
I spot a raven up ahead

My Irish knit wool sweater
Keeps me warm all-day
I sip a pumpkin spice latte

A cold rain begins
My umbrella keeps me dry
I get a hot slice of pizza pie

Walking back home I feel alive
I love these days of fall
There is peace in nature after all

I curl up
By the fire
Waiting for sleep to transpire

I will dream
Of turkey and pumpkin pie
Wishing for more halcyon days to come nigh
