By Mrs. Joan Niland
A Valley on Fire
Every leaf shined,
those that remained,
in the fire and wine.
Strong and undaunted,
while merciless winds
through valleys haunted.
This time of year
bears such a new world
to smell, see, and hear.
Many, sudden changes,
yet exhilarating crispness
across the mountain ranges.
A sky of blue
offers background
to bare-branched hues.
Beauty beyond a brush
with so many is lost
for they can’t feel the hush.
– Joan Niland
