Aspen Gold

Autumn on Richmond Pass trail




Aspen Gold, the gift of Autumn






Hillsides all aglow



Summer's gone, its heat forgotten
Peaks are capped with snow


Gentle breezes tease each leaf
So begins the dance




Mellow golden days too brief
Hold us in a trance



We'll wander through sunlit groves; clear skies overhead
Yellow carpets line the roads where our feet will tread



We'll recall the aspens' gold in the days to come
When the wind turns bitter cold, and storm clouds hide the sun
