Autumn's Breath |
Elaine George |
|
The first breath of autumn - so softly creeps
Kissing the face of summer - as she sleeps
Stirring within - such passion and desire
Setting every bough and green leaf - on fire
Ablaze of flames - in shades - of red and gold
Burning the meadows - and the valleys below
Autumn’s breath - a perfume of sweet decay
Hangs over the earth - in a crimson haze
Memories rekindled - in all the leaves
In their final hour - still cling to the trees
Until Autumn expels - her final breath
And falls - in a kaleidoscope - to her death
Where her ashes will sleep beneath the snow
giving warmth to the seeds - buried below
~~~
