An Autumn Woolgathering

Autumns bring thoughts of the end of things Rambling musings to be sure, of course But thoughts nonetheless with their own force As nature erases the gain of Springs I seem to be reminded each Fall That all things that live must meet an end The truth of life is no one knows when The end will arrive and stop it all Such thoughts lead to the final ponder What will happen to the universe Will it just stop or will it be worse Thus my mind continues to wander Who will be there to see the last star Burn its last gasp and turn the sky black Will there be no light from any crack To give hope to some forgotten "far" And so I journey through Autumn days Woolgathering through the falling leaves Watching the gathering of harvest sheaves Wondering how the universe lays 9-10-19 Contest: Pick a Title 9 Title: An Autumn Woolgathering Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
