Rustling Leaves

From where I sit on the back deck
sheltered from the winds this breezy fall day,
the sun's warmth touches me
gently.
With my eyes closed,
I hear the winds push the maple tree's leaves.
A soothing rustle,
nature's wind chimes.
Being one of the last pleasant days
of the fall before winter,
I prefer the sounds of nature today
as they are much more subdued
than the grunts, groans, and whistles
of the TV's NFL.
