Country Dirt Road

In the fall on a country dirt road
Walking along at a gentle pace
With the soft gentle cool breeze
Blowing against your face

Scuffing my shoes along
Making a cloud of dust
The beauty of the trees
Turning the brilliant shades
Of yellow, red and orange

The quietness of being alone
Surrounded by only the sounds
Of small animals scurrying here and there
And birds chirping a happy tune

Remembering the memories
Of being a child
Walking down another dirt road
At another time and another place
The quietness and peacefulness

Of the beautiful falling leaves
For there is nothing more peaceful
Than walking down a country dirt road
All alone or with someone you love
