Glowing of the Leaves By Robert Stephen Herrick
Hear the rustling of the cool wind as it passes around the boughs and branches holding up the leaves to soon loosen away and be caught by the colder breezes to be scattered.
See the solid trunks of the trees holding up branches and boughs and view the hues colored by cold frosts and from green to gold to brown and red the leaves glow.
Smell the crisp coolness in the air and catch the scents of the cooling earth slowly hardening and softer in scent than weeks before and no longer as ripened under the summer mists as it thins in the air.
Taste the chill in the back of your throat as you breath in from the wind and breezes and the clean and crisp air passes briskly down into your mouth and slightly stings your palate and tongue and teeth.
Feel the fading warmth of a leaf in your hand and sense it glow stiff and brittle to the touch as its life is done and the breeze fading from the warmth of a touch wants to carry it on all to be for the glowing of the leaves.
