Autumn Afterglow
What a cruel let down
A heartbreaking shakedown
When summer bliss
Exits with a sunny kiss
How short-lived the days
That conjure our praise
October gales abruptly call
Announcing the arrival of Fall
Bundling for chilly nights
We set our sights on new heights
It’s the price we have to pay
For admission to the colorful display
Across the land the winds blow
A sullen goodbye swaying in afterglow
