Autumn's War
Just as Autumn leaves, fleeing before the frost
It hides itself in mounds
Earth-bound splendor with hue now lost
It falls with rustling sounds
Where regal heads now bow to earth
Shedding its ample dress
Stepping out naked from head to girth
It faces the cold with less
'tis time to rest, to slumber deep
In somber gray and sheets of white
Yet as the skies mourn and begin to weep
In its fingers it holds a secret tight
When the frost will flee when Winter's lost
Just as Autumn leaves fleeing before the frost
