Autumn Journey

A trip to Hood River, Oregon in 2011.

   Yellow, red and orange flames upon frost touched trees

The colors enchanting Autumn cast their beauty

Traveling by car as the heart of Autumn glows

Shades of fire upon the leaves as a soothing wind blows

Mom, Dad, my girl and I caught in an Autumn breeze

The roads wind and stretch on between wild forest trees

Ivory clouds paint the sky with a touch of blue

Deep nature sights caress our souls causing joy to brew

Mt. Hood looms above with a beautiful frost white coat

Through the wild forests we journey, our souls afloat

The White River winds and wildly streams like sweet white wine

The forest creatures shine on as does wild nature divine

We pause by an orchard stretching into the distant white

Mom seeks apples, skips pears, as my love creates another write

We head for a harvest festival past ever more Autumn trees

Caught in the magic of our journey and the beauty of the leaves

At the harvest festival fruit, pumpkins, food carts and crafts surround

The atmosphere is thick with crowds whose celebrating voices resound

I purchase a gift for my love then we head toward the warmth of home

The magic of Autumn we treasured upon a journey where beauty shone
