Notes About The Poem

Autumn's Many Colorful Moons Poetry Contest

Autumn through grieving eyes

Autumn is not mine to desire, 
but I have longed for it for months
Since death stole my love for summer,
I have craved Autumn like a lover craves her love
I want the cool breezes to ruffle my hair,
the sensuous moon to light my skin in the dark,
the bountiful harvest to prove that life lives on
in a dark world that color still lives and lights up
the world with bright colors of a changing world
that will soon be barren and cold but for a glorious
season, it is bright and bountiful and joyful for all
