Breath of Autumn
You can feel the breath of fall
as she blows cold air across the plain
she whispers to the sun
asking it to shine a few more weeks
while she gathers the bountiful yield
bringing closure to the seasons warmth
night temperatures begin to plummet
her breathing becomes raspy
as coldness encases
her labored breathing ceases
with a final breath she
brings forth winters frost.
