An Autumn Stroll in The Park

I stepped outside
On an autumn day
It was raining
The air was
Perfectly chilly
I saw
My breath
Suspended
In the air
Colorful leaves
Covered
The ground
They made
A pleasing
Crunch sound
Underfoot
I entered
Schenley Park
I walked the
Winding trail
I saw a
Peregrine falcon
Circling me
From above
It was cloudy
I saw a
Female deer
When she saw me
She bolted away
I heard robins
Singing
Sweet melodies
I see chipmunks
Scurrying
In and out
Of an old
Stone wall
Covered in
Green moss
Nature testifies
To the truth
Of the Creator
God
