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

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.
