Autumn Has Arrived

LJH 28/9/12
Autumn has arrived

As the sun sets, lower in the sky
Summer, gently wave’s goodbye

Swirling leaves, changing colour to the scene
Gradually evolving, to golden from green

Wiser are the trees, their branches all a glow
Shedding, for later, seeds to ground will sow

The scent of autumn, earthy in the breeze
Nature prepares, before the winter freeze
