Autumn's Call
Gently flows the breezes
floating brisk upon the leaves.
Slip sliding through the air
as each begins to bare.
Hued colors come but seem so late
past the schedule on the calendar date.
Mid to end October cool
seasons often change the rules.
Summer occasionally dances on the edge
and autumn lingers on the hedge.
Fall burns remnants of summer heat
and winter waits for all to sleep.
Tempest winds begin to rise
from the sea and sky reprise.
Shadows fall dark and gliding to the ground
as life continues to abound.
Birds call out, happy, soulful cries
not wanting to give on or die.
They flit and fly from tree to tree
basking in the sun and shade of need.
On the wind gracefully they fly
tiny images in the sky.
Riders in the light of southern stars
autumn calls the loneliest time by far.
