Autumn Leaves

Summer beauty died when you forsook me. Now autumn returns with all its wistful glory. Leaves change their greenish hues into brown, russet, or golden themes, a kaleidoscope of prismatic colors. Trees turn bare as vegetation die. Leaves flutter slowly to the ground, a carpet strewn all over the paths that zigzag through the lonely gardens or long forgotten forest trails, whilst fragrant flowers wilt and wither awaiting the ruined return of an enchanted spring. With winter’s song desolation is all around as acorns fall rapidly to the ground. Days are short and there's a nip in the air as winter woes ominously approach. We are no longer together in our autumn. We lost our trust and we’ll not recapture The way we used to kiss and whisper love. Now it’s a life that's full of aches and sorrows, though the memory of our gone summer days will never be forgotten, and that is why I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall.
