An Autumnal Breeze

A short piece I wrote inspired by my favourite season. I love everything about autumn/fall! The weather, the colours, the aesthetic, the pumpkin spice themed goodies! I thought it only fitting to honour this lush season with some poetic verse. Do subscribe to be notified when I post!

A Forest During Autumn With Orange And Red Leaves

The breeze of

Autumn

Does caress my mouth

As its swaying arms

Gently dance my heart out and

Into the crisp

Riviera-dream

That awakens all too

Seldom—


I wish I could peel

An Autumnal breeze

And consume each

Ripe slice whole,


I wish I could squeeze

An Autumnal breeze

And devour its

Beating soul,


I wish I could swim in

An Autumnal breeze

And bathe in its

Copper-baked gold—


And I wonder sometimes

If I’ve had enough Time,

Spent enough Time,

Felt enough Time

Pass by –


And I’d stand still –

If only Time would.
