Changes

A melancholy feeling  flutters in   my heart
As  raindrops fall gently to nourish my thoughts
As one season arrives  and another departs

In a whirlwind of emotions I am now caught
As mother nature changes her mood
Let raindrops fall gently to nourish  my thoughts

My disposition changes as I sit and brood
wondering why summer must leave us so soon
As mother nature changes her mood

 Autumn unwraps itself like a butterfly from a cocoon
And then  its   beautiful leaves flutter away
And I keep wondering why summer must  leave us so soon

The cool winds of  Autumn  will soon rule the day
And the brightly clothed trees will  then  undress
And  their  beautiful leaves will flutter away

In each season these trees will impress
 As  a melancholy feeling flutters in my heart 
Soon,  these brightly clothed trees  will slowly  undress
As one season arrives and another  departs
