i climbed up a tree all yellow and gold
no sign of the green of a week ago
soon the boughs will be bare, leaves
cascade down, and cover the earth
with beautiful leafy carpet and gown.
i sat amongst the coloured leaves
to weave my own midsummer dreams
peep into empty twiggy nests
as the birds have flown to warmer zones
how diligintly did the little birds work
to build a home and then desert it thus.
i shook the branch and watched in awe
as showers of gold go floating down.
wish i was down there to recieve the fall
cover my body and soak my soul
in all the colours that Nature on us bestows.
