Leaves Turn gold Drift away A soft descent At the close of day Sun shines with fading light Air grows crisp, a gentle bite Birds take flight, seeking warmer climes Autumn has gently parted away Winter chill begins to fill the space The branches etch against the grey Nights stretch long and shadows tall Hidden seeds take some rest We draw the shutters Firm, close and tight To welcome Coming Night
