Autumn Colors

Autumn Colors
David J Walker

What if I found you and
You hadn’t changed at all
Would you recognize 
	This aging disguise 
Would you see me as this
Elderly
	unsteadily
70 
year thing 
Remembering the Spring 
We shared 

Would we fall in love
	In the fall
When the Greens of Summer
Have morphed into 
fragile hues
Floating on cooled breezes 
 
Would we see past the 
	Lapsing ages
Swinging on a pendulum 
Holding hands with the 
	Spinning face
Of the clock's place in time?

I’m trying to remember
 Which of Autumn's colors
	You loved best
