Autumn (Remove filter)
Autumn's glory
And indeed,
the seasons will shift once again,
Yet,
that one autumn leaf,
will hold onto the branch,
with all its might,
Awaiting the breeze,
to carry it away.

Last leaves of Autumn
"Cling on, be strong" they said as the wind swirled them away
Now everyone's gone and left me, there's no defense my way
The wind hisses at me, "let go, be free"
There's not many of us left now clinging to this tree
The summer was bright, inviting and calm
Warm breezes filled with harmless hope
But now, I'm not sure if I can cope
These days are as dark as night

Fall
I walk a fine line
With a clock enshrined
Between damp palms intertwined.
The autumn crisp,
Prayers on lips,
On marooned beds, I climb uphill.
But orphaned leaves of the fall
And people who crawl
Seldom stand tall.
And so, the sun's wary glint
Smokes my brittle shins.
My knees give in.
Deepening sighs,
Rust-riddled signs,
The woods...

Hawley Time
Autumn is a wonderous time
Brown leaves crisping in the wind
Fields sodden by rain
Windswept humans failing to take off holding umbrellas
The days are dark and short
Cosy movie weather I'd have thought
Breaking the habits of the heat
Hoping, maybe, for that white snowy sheet
It is time to get lost in nature
To selth-sooth, wonder and nurture
Wrap-up warm in ...
