The last vestiges of summer are silently slipping away
And the bright, colorful promises of spring have turned a shade of gray
And I sit just here with poor heart aching, thinking of my former days
While the bittersweet feelings of autumn merge into my fleeting life's parade
Leafs will soon burst forth in a melody of brilliant hues
Awesome, seductive colors pitched against a sky fall blue
This is nature's last colorful painting before winter's recluse
Which reminds of the season of life that is waiting and the paying of what's due.
Sometimes autumn does cause us to sit and reminisce about former days for sure. I agree that this is nature's last colorful painting for this year....but it is also nice knowing it will repeat another time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line is, "This is nature's last colorful painting before winter's recluse" - It's certainly my favorite season.

PS -- could you turn off the verification. It takes too much time because it is hard to read.
