There Is a Path to Autumn
There is a path to autumn
Though few have ever been
Away down in the wildwood
In wafts of summer green
It’s there you’ll find the faefolk
The pixies and the gnomes
Some set out on adventure
Some ambling to their homes
And on the trail they’re trekking
When summer’s stretched a ways
You’ll feel a sweet wind rising
To soothe the sweltry days
The trees extend their great limbs
A twinkling light unfurls
Then sweeps across the woodland
Bringing autumn to the world. Laura Jaworski
