Forever Fall

Dark and cold as dawn sets in And the grass is moist by the dew So serene and blessed How morning suddenly grew. The sky lightens Ready to greet the sun The plants eagerly await To soak in the heat as one. Noon awakes, knowing its job Is to warm the world No wonder the sun is a god Just hear the stream purl. Soon the day turns to dusk And the leaves continue to fall The animals find their way home As the sun sends its last call. Darkness overshadows the light And all that is visible are lit pumpkins Until the sky welcomes the moon More is seen when the shine begins. Now nothing can take this away That day and that night The start of autumn A mesmerizing sight.
