For the Autumn Trees

By Me

As your green disguise fades fast away
And true colors, orange and red appear
You fold your leaves as if to pray

The blue, bright sky has turned to gray
The heavy clouds release their rain
And the chill sends the faint of heart away

Like that nightly ritual
Of bath and prayer and bed
The earth is getting ready
To rest her weary head

I love your poem, Bree! I too have been thinking a lot about fall this year and I love the imagery of the trees praying... Beautiful.
