Homeward Bound


Curvy farm track leads home into the setting sun,
Westward traveling when a hard days work is done,
Summer gone, the path no longer dusty and bone dry,
Harvest collected, stored safely wheat, oats and rye.

Leaves have turned golden; orange, browns and red,
Trees are stark naked their foliage shed,
This most beautiful season adorns evening skies a glow,
Homeward journey to enjoy all that nature has to bestow.
