Gems of October
The gems on October trees are dying.
Just as stained glass in evening fades, we know
Fallen leaves are no reason for crying.
Though their blazing colors leave us sighing;
In the frail season they soon lose their glow.
The gems on October trees are dying.
Heaving their last, the leaves are sent flying,
Grieving on their way, to decay they go.
But, fallen leaves are no reason for crying.
Those with blind eyes, their senses are vying
To understand, where in resting you flow
As the gems on October trees are dying.
Lamentable fate; there’s no defying
That your blaze in the light will end in woe.
Yet, fallen leaves are no reason for crying.
You, my lovely tree, keep on supplying
Good earths needs for forest anew to grow.
The gems on October trees are dying,
But, fallen leaves are no reason for crying.
