Autumn's Treasure

She begins to show herself in subtle ways.
Soft gold and hues of crimson begin to appear.
You set a course of discovery, following the path with anticipation.
You know the journey is short, always wondering, "Is this the bounty?"
Then suddenly, without warning, she's discovered!
Like a chest from the sea, her lid opens to unveil all her glory.
Glowing, with unspeakable beauty,
your heart races with the excitement over the find.
Trails of yellow ochre, burnt sienna, fire red and brilliant orange.
It dazzles your eyes
The sun shines her spotlight on the treasure,
as a curtain of clouds drapes the background, like an under painting.
Oh, the thrill of it all! It's yours, all yours!
Grab all you can, for she won't be there for long
Fill your senses with her beauty.
You're so lucky to have found her.
