Autumn Dawn
A quiet world lies slumbering
The frenzied bustle of noonday stands at bay
Rays of sunlight stretch lazily across the eastern sky
A golden haze bathes the morning air
Sapphire skies shimmer unmarred
Not a cloud skims across the horizon
Breezes rustle through scarlet-dipped leaves
The crisp tang of Autumn fills the air
One lone blue jay shrieks in a nearby grove
Piercing the serenity
Stately evergreens stand on guard
Fragrant boughs hang laden with liquid sunshine
Savour the tranquil beauty of this morn
O soul, well up with praise for the Creator
Daybreak is His promise of a new day and new life
The morning dawns eternal

I like that "crisp tang of autumn" it's been that even here in the desert...but it was 70 degrees yesterday!
