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

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 ...
