Autumn is a season that invites us to slow down, take a breath and notice the beauty all around us. The golden leaves, the abundance of harvest, the crispness of the air and the warmth of gathering together all remind us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life.
Inspired by the wonders of this beautiful season, I’ve written a little poem to celebrate autumn, its changing colours, its quiet wisdom and the gifts it brings.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
The Glory of Autumn
Drink in the glory of autumn, as golden leaves dance in the breeze,
The trees whisper secrets, their branches let go,
We honour the season, the earth and the trees.
We honour the season, the earth and the trees.
Taste the sweet fruits of the autumn, the apples, the pears and the grain,
Each morsel a blessing, each flavour a gift,
Nature’s abundance is offered again.
Nature’s abundance is offered again.
We gather together each autumn, all wrapped up side by side,
As the bonfire glows and old wisdom revives,
The heart finds the truth that lies deep inside.
The heart finds the truth that lies deep inside.
Breathe in the cool air of autumn, feel damp earth ‘neath our feet,
The world holds its secrets for hearts that grow still,
Each breath, a wonder; each moment, a treat.
Each breath, a wonder; each moment, a treat.
Celebrating the glory of autumn, its beauty, its bounty, its grace,
Our gratitude flowing, our hearts overflowing,
For the gift of this moment, this time and this place.
For the gift of this moment, this time and this place.
