Fall Day

The ground is wet from the night's rain
Dampness permeates the air
A puddle reflects the image it sees as clear as in a mirror

The sun is shrouded in a cloak of grey clouds
as if protected by a shield 
while it cuts the night and dimly comes alight

The plants drink their fill from their thirsty roots
The leaves stick to the pavement
as if glued in a colorful collage

Fall is upon us as it seeps into our lives
The changing seasons bring their varied gifts
Each day a new surprise
