immerging colors invite me on this path
a crisp breeze adds to my gleeful feeling
not a sound of the cold outside world near

deeper into the woods is a nature's bath
leafy voices share alternative healing
appearing in sweet shadows is a wee deer

hiking forward with endless stories flowing
childhood memories begin flooding my mind
I pause to allow amazing vibes to surround

a singing bird inspires joy that is growing
each step leads to a treasure chest find
gathering the magic forces I spin around

smiling as I realize why autumn is the best
giggles of unknown origin fill the fragrant air
my trail of this October eve is one to cherish

one look into the dreamy sky adds more zest
caressed with majestic Maple Lake flair
a full moon night guides my final wish

into the wanderFULL woods of life, John : )
