Autumn

As the sun reflected its rays
Onto the late autumn trees
Their leaves of gold,yellow and green
Shown so bright.....

The birds are in flight
Gathering in groups
Some headed south
For their winter warmth.....

Creeks are running high
From the rains on the mountains
Trailing down the sides.....

Squirrels with their nests full of nuts
Maybe a sunflower or two.....

Seeing the deer grazing
In the shadow of the trees.....

The night starts to fall early
With its shadows of black.....

The suns rays lifting to the sky
Showing off its colors
Of oranges,reds and yellows
To settle into the darkness
For the night.....
