Autumn Revisited , a Look Back

Autumn Revisited , A Look Back Sitting on mossy stone, I watch Autumn fly no respite from Winter's friend Over heading the wild birds soar on by almost time for this season's end. This stream , banks covered in green moss shall very soon flow deeper and cold This forest will reflect more of this loss musings I find deeper as I grow old! What of the sunny Summer days, memory fair? a short gust in a fast receding storm Bears scouting for coming Winter's hiding lair survival searching now is the prime norm. As Autumn prepares for Winter's hard blast Slowing moving Time suddenly races so fast! (EDITED)- Typo in the closing verse, "Rime" was A TYPO--correct is "Time". Old keyboard has letters missing. lol Robert J. Lindley, 08-13-2015 Note--Time to dread Winter. This seasonal apprehension goes back to my childhood. Back then Winters were brutal on we kids without coats and proper protection from its blasts.. Yet we survived and later prospered.
