Autumn Splendor

The cat-tails birth an icy twin
As sun's warmth begins to win
And from its host it gently slips
Then in double imagery delicately sits
Icy crystals paint the grasses white
Sparkling in the dawn's first light
Then crunches loudly as I walk
With bent and broken frozen stalk
A fluffy cloud of morning mist
Above the pond and trees it lists
Ducks weave patterns, rippled trails
In and out of the fog's thick veil
A moose's bid from shoreline beckon
Then silence reigns for just a second
And in the distance an answering call
That has the male stand proud and tall
He snorts his joy for all to hear
Waking up this tranquil mere
As into the bush he noisily retreats
His future mate to find and greet
A chorus from the deep blue sky
As geese to winter homes do fly
In perfect V they grace my view
My how I wish to soar with you
With sun's rising the trees steal awe
Such painted colors without flaw
All the spectrum bright and clear
'Tis nature's beauty without peer
The leaves like multicolored snow
So gently float to ground below
To spread their murals at my feet
My private gallery, such a treat
I wander about the forest floor
Pictures painted, search for more
Peace and beauty, heart and soul
Oh how this setting grants console
The air so crisp and clean this morn
Each breath a cloud of mist adorn
Power and majesty in all I see
Autumn splendor sets spirits free
