Darker times lift their veil Windy words whisper change Earthy colors wash the palette Dressing greens in orange and reds A nearing cold impresses the skin Invisible hands disrobe the trees Off they go the old green leaves Thousands of kites without strings Freckles of cinnamon sooth the mind Cardamom warmth meets the heart Nutmegs of life contemplate the past While Ginger sculpts tales shaped as Man Sands of seeds displaced by light Flickering filigrees yellow and white Maple trees wearing scarves Looking up at grey skies Nature sighs fugitive and wishful Laughs of hay, pansies, and Figs The dimmer glow of sunny days grows old And Autumn stands all mighty and cold October 2021
