I love autumns. In fact I wait for this time of the year when the autumn gust of strong wind
blows, wiping away the yellow-orange crispy brown leaves with it. A farewell to
greenery
Thankfully the place I
live in is still surrounded by some tress. So as I look out of my window, I
admire the crisp copper leaves falling off the trees, swaying gently in the
autumn wind. The clouds overlap each other making the sky a gloomy gray. After
a long time I’m having a hot cocoa chocolate drink that I've been clutching in
my hands to keep it warm. The chill of the wind reddens my face like a seasoned
apple. I close my eyes and deep breathe the beautiful season. But as I deep
breathe; my thoughts are shadowed by 'his' face. Go bathe in the autumn sun.
Have you ever taken a
perfect autumn walk? I haven taken it today and as I was taking the walk my
thoughts drifted a bit thinking of the years that have passed, the years I have
left by. Strangely I feel happy again. Something that I haven’t felt in a long
time.
In the bygone childhood
days it was this autumn season when mom would first make those delicious gajar
ka halwa for the entire family. And even today I can close my eyes and smell
the sweet scent of the halwa being cooked in our old rented house.
Autumn will always hold a
special place in my heart because it was this time of the year when I first
felt the signals of the heart. I fell in love.
Autumn evenings are even more spectacular. The chill
winds races through the avenues and your freshly manicured lawns are once more
dumped by those yellow-orangy-browny leaves. Crunch, crackle, stamp on them like
you did as a kid and let out a smile at this thought.
Oh what a joy autumn is…
is it not?
Golden and red trees
Nod to the soft breeze,
As it whispers, "Winter is near;"
And the brown nuts fall
At the wind's loud call,
For this is the Fall of the year.
Nod to the soft breeze,
