A touch of autumn in the air Fills my senses everywhere Her beauty and her sweet perfume Are fragrant as a springtime bloom. Shades of red and orange hues Reflections of the vibrant views Just as a painted canvas shows The splendour that the Fall bestows. And yet her crisp and chilly breeze Kisses me the air she breathes Embracing me with cool delight Reflections of her colours bright. She leaves behind a single trace Come winter of her warm embrace, Her fragrance lingers in the air, A touch of autumn remaining there. © Christina 6th October, 2005

"Dedicated to my dear friend, Autumn.
For you shine like the autumn colours in the leaves
and kiss me with your gentle breeze,
and I thank you for all you are
reflecting on me your gentle love."
