Fall Feelings

The temperature has dropped

and the bugs are gone.

Look how the unraked leaves

paint the ground.

Take a minute to stand still

To notice

a certain smell in the air

that can only be tasted during fall.

The trees that provided thick shade in summer

suddenly appear fragile.

All humidity is gone,

leaving crisp, cool air;

a refreshing wake up.

The colored leaves come alive

dancing at our feet.

And you were almost too busy to take time out of your schedule,

to wonder at the new season's quiet entrance.
