Escape to a world where the splendor of nature is kindled aflame

With every blazing color of a fire in the hearth

Where life’s only demand is to let come what may

And breathe the crispness from the air

And enjoy the bounty of life’s simple pleasures

As you find yourself twirling in circles of laughter

Midst a flurry of autumntime leaves you’ve 

thrown fun-lovingly high in the air

For from time to time we should all take the time to do some living

And let our worries drift away upon the same reckless breeze

The new fallen leaves carelessly tumble upon

So loose yourself to the child inside

as you do a backwards dive into a heaping pile of leaves

whose cradle of softness catches you as you fall

And should you discover as you lay midst the laughter

how much kinder is the world to the fate of the lighthearted

And a flight of fancy was long overdue

Bear in mind in the coming seasons to live life to the fullest

and remember forever the glory of Fall
