Colorful Chilly Morning

A silver stillness greets the chilly morning.
Yellow, gold and brown leaves collect beneath the tress.
Protected from the cold night air
Together they hang in a colorful array of spent foliage
Proudly clinging to the trees mothering limbs
New fallen foliage decorates the ground below
Giving lively color enhances to nature’s discards
The icy dew slips from its resting spots
Glistening and sparkling in the morning sun
Dancing with radiant brilliance as day begins
The beauty begs the mind of the viewer
To remember and savor the treasure
For the delight of the beholder
Now and in all the years to come
It's that time of year and I needed to share as the colors danced with beautiful brilliance. Haven't been out since the downpour... almost afraid to see how flooded I am.
