Nearly finished
Though I feel like I've just begun.
Fall leaves
Crisp like pages,
I see you in every one.
A breeze that drifts
and pumpkin sips.
Nowhere else I'd rather be.
Pull the blanket
up to my chin,
autumn fell so naturally.
Apple-drenched air,
a plot twist,
close my eyes so it's like I'm there.
Lulling bass.
Gentle kiss.
Both them and the setting sun on my face.
Set the mood,
comfort food -
warm soups and breads and treats.
Soak it in,
the love and the laughter,
autumn fell so naturally.
Blow out the flame,
curtains drawn.
A sleepy, happy rain.
Orange embers
on bonfire flannels.
Impending end of November.
Creeping chill,
hearts so still.
Maybe time will follow suit.
You and me,
naked trees,
autumn fell and I did, too.

Beautifully captured ✨😊
This felt like a warm drink in the autumn air
Loved this! (Maybe because I have a strong bias towards Autumn, but I like to think there are other reasons too)
