Autumn in it's glory
Majestic peace I find
Fills my soul with new life
With heart and love combined

Looking at the mountain
With sun that shines so rare
Colors of the autumn
No beauty can compare

Bow my head in reverence
This joy that I can see
Colors bright and flowing
The leaves play rhapsody

Falling from the trees now
Leaves upon the ground
In colors that are splendid
The crackling sound rebounds

Oh the joy of walking
In rapture of this gift
Spirit feeling wondrous
Like colors all adrift

Treasured for a lifetime
Sweet moment of this bliss
This day belongs to me now
The autumn's coolest kiss.
