Spot of Beauty
Breath of a breeze
blows a rush of leaves –
they rustle in hues
of red, yellow and gold,
sparkling in the autumn sun
like some precious jewels.
Squirrels take no notice
while digging holes for
next season’s stores.
One needs to embrace
this spot of beauty,
soon only the bare branches
of winter’s cold landscape
will remain.
