Autumn is upon me

I can smell dew
on cool grass
the fresh scent of autumn rain
drizzles light and delicate
chilled wind blows
small shivers come
with the gentle fall
of a floating leaf
a little death
shakes free
from a thick stem

one of many to come
the beauty of colours
tanned earth tones
trickle across my sight

I can taste the rain
feel its wonder
cause shudders on my flesh

I want to join in
this shedding of weight
run my fingers
through the wet grass
