Late Autumn

LATE AUTUMN by Gregory Firlotte I sit by the window at dusk as the world outside disappears slowly one moment after the other and the silver gray sun takes shelter behind barren trees to seek another place to shine once again for someone else sitting by another window also peering at the world outside on this late Autumn day. Gray skies now linger and gray clouds now loom But I am happy to know that I am warm and I am content to be sitting here awaiting the cold Autumn rain that will soon trickle down this window and cleanse for once and for all all final remains of Summer away and move on its way to another place to rain once again for someone else sitting by another window also peering at the world outside on this late Autumn day.

Hi Gregory, this poem kept my attention from start to end. You captured the nostalgia of the fall season.

Hi. I was pulled in from the beginning as i could see it all so clearly. I enjoy the different aspects of movement and i'm left wanting to know the story of both the 'I' and the 'someone else'. I love your poem...
