The first cool breath of autumn
Is a balm of sweet delight
Refreshing all it touches
In the day and through the night
The air seems light and bracing
With each slow, deliberate breath
The first cool breath of autumn
Brings on pangs of anxiousness
I enjoy the greening flora
As the stage of spring arrives
When nature seems to waken
From winter’s tired and dreary guise
But, I’d rather walk a winding trail
That forest creatures tread
And whiff the rich aromas
In autumns brilliant shed
Summer has many pleasures
And at times a stifling heat
But it’s a time of preparation
For a harvest rich and sweet
Each season is a wonder
A gift from God on high
But the first cool breath of autumn
Is a balm of sweet delight
