Autumn

Leaves have started falling
New colours, shades of brown
Making their lazy way down to the ground
Listen carefully, you can hear the sound
A rustle, a flutter

Thick carpets of leaves
Red, orange and brown
Trees baring their souls to the sky
Branches still reaching up so high
To the heavens

Rich golden sunsets
Red skies a delight
A perfect time and place to stand
And watch while shadows cast across the land
So peaceful

The nearness of winter
Glistening and white
A chill comes into the air
Snow is falling, people everywhere stop and stare
Autumn has passed
