The Autumn Masterpiece
©1996 by Lynn D. Troldahl Hershberger

The tree is red and gold today.
Not red on one side and gold on the other,
but each leaf an individual red and gold masterpiece.

It stands proudly,
beckoning me from my chosen path.
The sight overcomes the rest of the scenery,
Grey sky is forgotten in its view.

Tonight it will rain,
Tomorrow maybe snow...
The leaves will fall into wet mats on the ground.

But today the tree stands,
more magnificent than any painting in a museum.
And I marvel at the sight...
