AUTUMN

AUTUMN

Outside the air is cool and brisk.
The breeze is cheeky, refreshingly crisp.
The leaves are turning maroon and gold
as Autumn starts to slowly unfold.
Baby animals born in the Spring
leave their mothers to do their own thing.
Leaves on the trees that reached to the sky
float to the ground with a whispery sigh. 
Birds that flew north to birth their young
begin to fly south, summer is done.
Animals scurry to build winter homes
before fierce winter winds begin to moan.
On the tail-end of summers’ heat blast
the first cold day rushes too fast.
The sun is blotted by dreary clouds
cloaking the earth like a mourners shroud.
Longing for warm summer winds to blow
it’s time to prepare for the first snow.
But clothed in her bright colors again
Autumn is cherished like an old friend.
We look at her with awe from our youth.
Aging is beautiful. She is our proof.
We look at her from the prime of life.
She shows calm grace among man’s strife.
We look at her from the wicker chair.
She is quiet dignity, without despair.
In the prime of her life we see her glory.
In our eyes, she is a beautiful story.
Autumn in all of her beauty and splendor
is a treasured friend, we will always remember.
