And Just Like That

And just like that
       one swing of the ax,
       Autumn`s been felled
       and winter is back.
       With shivering maples
       the sun in reverse,
       the snow laden boughs
       of balsam and birch.
       The streams have gone silent
       birds without verse,
       our days now in darkness,
       the tilt of the earth.

Your cadence is wonderfully rhythmical, Charlie. Very nice composition.
