The Forest Trail

For the trail within the forest

began to take most beautiful Autumn hues;

for leaves of green turn red and gold

and skies turn different shades of blue.

For today will finally be the day

I let myself be free,

of Summer's humid atmosphere,

and find myself in me.

For blesséd is the forest here;

a work of God's creations!

For this, a place for one to find peace
from Summer's many explorations.

For wondrous is the forest here

that I feel very much alive;

a place where dreams of gold,

and passions red, and
cool healing blues shall strive.

For the trail within the forest

of reds and golds and blues,

that free me from Summer's heat

and let me search for you.

I sense that Autumn's somewhere,

and I will find it so.

And when I find it, lovely one,

I promise you will know!
