This Perfect Fall Day

The smell of cold leaves awakens my nose
Wispy fog in the air dampens my clothes

It's amazing that it's here! It's finally here!
The first true morning of fall has dawned

Relishing in the moment
I absorb the golden sun
Mesmerized by striking blue skies

It's then I realize
Truly realize
What my heart's been yearning for seasons long

Months have passed since the last leaf of oak
Boasted nature's brilliant finale
Before winter's icy cloak

It's time to carve pumpkins
And go on hayrides
To immerse yourself in the scent
Of warm apple pies

Scarecrows, mums, and Indian corn,
Pulling out your old sweater
Wrapping up to stay warm

A perfect and grand schematic decay
It's beckoning for you to come and play

Inhale it! Don't waste it! This perfect fall day!

Listen to the wind whisper through the trees
Watch synchronized dancing red, yellow, and orange leaves

A sight so spectacular, so perfectly picturesque
Smiling pumpkins on hay bales
Colorful trees as autumn's dress

The cold, crunchy leaves beneath my bare feet
Bring memories of yellow maples
As a small girl traipsing to the creek

Jumping in massive piles of leaves
Inhaling the sparkling dust as you breathe

I relish in its glory, recharging my soul
The birds chirping to nature's fantastical
The final drumroll

I feel the excitement of leaving summer behind
And welcoming the enchantment
Of joyous autumn time
