A gentle touch of copper tint
Begins the autumn glow
A pretty sparkle in the forest
To kindle just a tender show

Luminous green fades softly yellow
Enriches to a gold
Veins of flaxen embroidery
Gently gain their hold

A little tinge, of scarlet red
Of orange, turning brass
An expectation starts within
Of gilding that is cast

Another day, another hue
There spreads a warming blush
Until upon a glorious morn
Bursts forth a blazing rush

The summer heat gives one last gasp
It's light is freely tossed
A flaming fire explodes
The world with gold embossed

A flame of hope spreads o'er the hills
A great brush before the cold
God sweeps His hand across the land
A wonder to behold

A fiery blaze of awesome color
Burns deep into our hearts
A stain glass window to our soul
Of Gods' mosaic art

Soft Whispers for you from
