Autumn's Journey


 Yellow falling

Red, crimson swirling down

All around me the colors of the sunset fly

Fly, fly

Down, around, surround, abound

They float and dance

The dance of the wind

The waltz of the winter coming

Coming

Cold and dead but living color

Gold, rich and precious flying away

Gold of the sky falling to earth

Silent rush of Fall

Autumn unfurls its beauty

All around me dancing

Breeze brushes past

Sinking, floating, drifting

Friends parted

Hearts broken

Their day is done

The year is fading into night

Shadows fall

Cold seeps into the earth like the whisper of a coming silence

Falling, tryst with the past

Prisoner to the future

They fly far, the colors of the season

Their sorrow and laughter rings in the air

Crisp and bright

The Tree lets go her children

The wind welcomes them

The journey of Autumn is begun.
