I Remember Autumn

[Baut Images: Angel in the Sky]

I remember Autumn, as a child.
Smoky scents on a crisping breeze.
Images of baked potatoes.
Frost.

Clear blue skies.
A hazy amber afternoon sun setting.
School children.
Cornstalks.

I was a child then.
A potential.
Dreaming.
Dreaming still.

But, the child is now locked inside,
And away from those Halcyon Days
Of golden September and October;
When we laughed, and ran, in the pumpkin patch.

I remember Autumn, as I am today.

  6. ...hey Eric! Nice of you to stop by and leave your thoughts! Yes, indeed, there used to be some mighty fine Autumns here in Michigan. Not to mention the 'Indian Summer' which we always looked forward to, and were rewarded with them...now...not the same! Thanks again Eric! Take gentle care! Roger ☺
