Autumn’s Return ~ a haiku

The light dims
Sounds of the night
Envelop the land
Echoing over tall trees
And small creatures
Tucking themselves in
As the sun sets
And the moon glows
Over empty trails
That rest upon the ground
Awaiting the rush
Of a new day’s dawn

A Side Note

I decided to take a small break from writing, yet I find myself doing just that. This time I had my camera so I could document all that I have been missing.

I spent yesterday enjoying life….

I watched the snap dragons open sleepy eyes, a blast of color filling my garden.

I listened as a cardinal sang its sweet song upon my fence.

I looked up and basked in the glow that warms the land.

I cooled down with the cold, creamy goodness of frozen confection

I relaxed, breathing in the air surrounding me, taking it all in, not wanting to let go

I watched as the Sun tucked herself in for the night

I sat before the glowing embers of fire, contained within, leaping out

I marveled at the brilliant orb, a Supermoon, filling the sky with light

I marveled at the brilliant orb, a Supermoon, filling the night sky

And I contently laid my head upon my pillow, in hopes of awakening to greet a new day

I took time out from my busy day to simply enjoy and to thank God for all the beauty that quietly surrounds me, but I fail to admire because I am too busy doing everything else.
