Autumn's Brilliance

Fall has taken a deep breath And is blowing summer out Summer's warm winds are leaving But she’s going with a pout It’s not her time to go yet She’s not getting to have her say The cool winds of autumn Are getting in her way The scents from the garden are fading The fruit almost all gone The leaves are curling turning brown No longer reaching for the sun For the trees this is their season The leaves will all go but first They will show in all their glory In red, orange and gold they will burst You have to admire fall With her brevity She may not be around for long But she leaves so brilliantly
