The Allure of Autumn Trees

As sizzling skies of summer
dispensed more heat through hills
October seized its chilly reign
amending heat to chills.

Majestic trees of birch in sway

along the far off trail,
released a mass of florid leaves
that mounted in the dale.

Each brittle souring parasail 
rotated through their whirls
and nose-dived as a regiment
in long befuddled twirls.

Yet, if a blitz of bitter snow
must always take a stance
winter flakes cannot replace
this autumn tree romance.

but they sure go down in a blaze of glory---all that beauty as those leaves die and get pushed from the tree....

like people...we seem to notice the colors of their lives so much more towards the end...the appreciation often comes too late...when that north wind blows and their lives chill to death.

October is my favorite month...crisp, clean...and there is love, even with the death of summer on the horizon.
