Late in November, King Autumn arrived, and began tapping the trees with his magic wand. I snatched a few photos as the colors exploded here and there, in the parking lot at my place of employment, Responsive Ed, in Flower Mound, Texas. Behold!

                                         Always Be You
                                        (Valentine's Day 2016)

                           When morning skies brighten with a luminous blue,
                           It pales to grey-tones when the morning sees you.
                           When evening stars glitter against deepening hues,
                           The evening bows in reverence when the stars look at you.
                           As the seasons roll forward and Spring greens all things new,
                           The seasons hush their colors and weave a queen's crown for you.
                           As I press pen to paper to speak fresh words anew,
                           I symphonize the old familiar song, "It will always be you."
                           My valentine, my heart-song, my sweet lady, it's true,
                           Now and forevermore, "It will always be you."
