Autumn walk. Two.

My footsteps trudge and slip,

as I set off down the path.

The icy wind attacks my lungs

as coldness reeks her wrath.



The trees all take in turns

to open up my senses.

I stumble, nearly fall,

as I climb moss ridden fences.



The crows all shout abuse,

from high above the ground.

As vee shaped geese are leaving

with an echo for a sound.



The colors all around me,

assault and burn my eyes,

while a watery sun hangs low,

in greying Autumn skys.



On a day like this i"m thankful,

that my senses number five.

For on this Autumn morning

it feels good to be alive.

I don't know which I love more, this one or the first. Both capture something and have a meaning. I couldn't agree with the last line more, when you go out and see the beauty that is nature, you can't help but be glad you're alive.
