Autumn's Softer Rhythm

 Autumn's Softer Rhythm  


Relaxing in autumn
feels like sinking
into a softer rhythm,
the world slowing
beneath drifting leaves.

The air carries
a gentle crispness,
cool enough to wake the senses,
calm enough
to invite stillness.

Colors glow warmly,
as if the trees
exhale their final breath of beauty
before winter’s quiet.

Beside me,
a steaming cup of coffee awaits,
a good book rests open,
companions to the hush.

In this season,
to sit,
to breathe,
to simply be,
feels like enough.

~ ‘Autumn’s Softer Rhythm’ by Spirit of a Hippie

Shared because I loved it so much, I hope you do too.  💛

  2. I always feel rather melancholic around this time of year. The lovely poem explains why, perhaps? I do love September and October. You always find such insightful gems Sue, thank you. June.
