Nature In Autumn

       The wind throws dirt at my face

       as I walk along a neverending

           muddy, brown pathway.   

 The birds squawk from the treetops,

 making the animals below scatter in

                           fear.

    My fingertips run along the trees, 

          their leaves drying out and 

               begging for water.

       The crunchy leaves tinted 

orange and red sway in the breeze 

              from dusk to dawn.
