Fall Selections from Nellie Wasilewski - With Complementary Music... Enjoy!

September 

Brisk air forces the sun

to hide its carefree

summer face.

Lack of light 

Ignites the fires of fall,

leaving a blazing trail 

of vivid colors behind.

Chill winds blow,

carving paths to winter.

September is the gateway

to cozy fires, 

and homemade soup.

A brief respite before 

winter clutches the earth

in its icy fingertips.

Fall on the Mountain 

Mountain breeze begins to blow

bright colors drift slowly down

sunbeam glitter sparks each leaf

silence and peace abound--the

changing season--a  gift from

the Master of all beauty
