I stand on the lawn
On this cold October afternoon
The sun is shining down on me,
White clouds scud overhead
In this windy day.
Then I look,
Look all around me and see the colours.
The greens are slowly turning yellow,
Yellow, orange and red.
They are so bright in the sun
I am pulled into the wonder,
The wonder and beauty of Autumn.
Every Autumn does this to me
As I revel in Nature’s Art at its finest.
I keep looking round and see the building,
The only build in sight,
The steeple of the church pointing,
Pointing up to the sky,
Passed the sky into the wonder of the Universe
And to the life that is out there.
So I stand here on the lawn
Amazed by life’s wonder that is within me
And thinking about that life
And how lucky I am to be here,
To be here and enjoy its glory,
The glory that is all around me,
And the glory that is always within me.

I'm tempted to say "Right on soul brother" because i'm of the same mind exactly. Thankful to be here amid the beauty which surrounds me even though I am temporarily having to stay indoors, but that will pass.
We are certainly of the same mind d a. Yes, staying indoors will pass and the glory of our world awaits us.

A fine write Gold.

Oohhh, a glorious, wonderful, superb write, etc, etc - I'm gushing now! lol.
What a beautiful set of lines
Describing the autumn in its full grace
Painting the canvas with your beautiful poetry and really loved the last stanza-
“So I stand here on the lawn
Amazed by life’s wonder that is within me
And thinking about that life
And how lucky I am to be here,
To be here and enjoy its glory,
The glory that is all around me,
And the glory that is always within me.”
The glory that is always within me, clearly stating the forgotten self love that must be again perceived today.
Thank you spilleronsheet, that glory is always there for us all.

Thank you Andy for this lovely message
'the greatest wisdom
is in finding the shards of beauty
amongst
the abundance of overwhelming, strife
surrounding us, at all times..'
(thanks for sharing your positive wisdom Andy,
what a beautiful read on a Monday morning)
That beauty is always there but many do not want to see it - I do.
Thank you Mek.

Your joy, your happiness radiates out from these pages every day, Andy - why are you so annoyingly optimistic? 😊 😁
Thank you Dave. It is the way I am and you are not the only one who cannot understand why I am optimistic.

Nice to know I have company, Andy - but please believe I have no intention of ganging up on you; go man go....
