Autumn Morning

©Mariah Smile

There is a hazy cloud hanging low to the ground

In sight when awakened by the songs

Of birds outside my tent that is warm

With body heat

The Autumn smell is all around

The trees are so vibrant

With shades of crimson, orange, and gold

The pines’ brilliance surviving the cold

Bundled up in layers of clothes

I walk out into the crisp air

That touches my cheeks and nose

I am the only one around
