Autumn's Chilling Blaze

Autumn's Chilling Blaze The trees blaze as if on fire the Autumn breeze plays the leaves A song of times passing lightly falls on ears & eyes & mind & soul. Lazy days of Summer's past the chilling fire of Autumn's blast The air turned crisp & cool flows over the land, spreading color to gently swaying branches. A small boy shuffles through the color the sound of laughter echoes down the lane Times like these ease the pain & the loneliness makes room for awe. A landscape transformed as if touched by a painter with a thousand brushes. At night the moon shines Bright, Big and Real The wind rolls clouds over his face A chill is felt by body and soul A season's past… A small boy laughs… A man cries… A dream is done. ………. rlm '85
