Fall Reigns Supreme

Softly expelling air from the frigid wind
The breeze comes quickly around the bend

Bringing with it the leaves of Autumn
Harvesting Fall with every new vellum

I like the bite of the day pressed upon me
Cool tender fingers caress the dark eve

The colors of yellow, amber, red, and gold
All bring Autumn into the heart’s calm mold

Hearing the lightness of the wind on my neck
Prickling my senses, as it seemed to peck

At my soul, leaving an impression on peace
Lasting and heartfelt, Fall comes within reach

The drooping of the trees, the flowers all bloomed
Time seems to cease to continue ungroomed

Now the season comes without much of a wedge
The Fall reigns supreme, it’s on its own pledge

Russell Sivey
