Journal #18

Autumn to me is the time of fresh air and falling leaves. When the colors gold, orange, and brown are the normal shades of trees. They gleam when the sun shines through them because of their natural happy glow. Some of them fade though into a deep brown and fall beneath the trees letting them feed the soil beneath them. It is weird in a way of the death of one leaf can help feed the entire tree of which it once lived from. This adds a true amount of the feeling of life in the time of Autumn when everything seems to begin making its circle of life. This is the time wear the warmth of the sun still beats through but the cool winds of winter begin to blow. The feeling of the wind makes my skin shiver but not to long after does the sun begin to warm it again. This feeling is one that only comes during fall. Only the works of nature relieve the cold and relieve the heat on its own. Not the relief of a pool or a warm heater, just the feeling of nature at its best. The smells are just inviting. It's one that can not be described in words or compared to any other scent that I have ever known. It's just known as the scents of fall. This is the time where you can hear the cheers of fans at a football game. You can hear the leafs in the trees louder than ever and the birds are showing their feelings to the cold. The world around us seems to slow down and let us appreciate its true beauty. I feel the true love towards this wonderful time because it is also the time that I was born as well.
