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 ~~~ Author: Elaine Cecelia George, of Canada Written: August 23, 2013
