A Fall Evening Poem by B.J. Ayers

The setting sun behind me
Casting against the trees a shining glow
I sat on the pier, looking across the water
A beautiful site for me to see

Colors of green, red, orange and brown
Glistening a beauty not fit for me
How bright and cheerful they made me fill
Such a beauty of nature away from town

The chill that comes with early fall,
A slight breeze streaming across my face
Awakened my senses to beauty that lay
Across sparkling water and the trees so tall

I wished at the time with a brush to paint
Could capture the beauty, of that moment in time,
A rainbow of beauty, the trees they made
A moment in time, yet so small and Quaint

Over the water, with sparkles of light
A Formation of Ducks flying in unison
Flapping and quacking as they flew by
A time in nature, what a beautiful site

I sat and peered as the sun dropped behind me
The sparkle in water, the glistening trees,
Slowly faded in the shadow of night,
The beauty of nature, just for me to see
