Leaving Only This

Should I hear the crackle of a leaf,
Or a warm wind gently blow—
I will think that it is Autumn 
And wish that it is so.

For Autumn is the turning of a page;
In the end, as I recall—
The seasons slip into the sea...
Leaving only this, the Fall.

Cleverly and aptly penned, Kenneth. Love the dry wit. Cheers, Gershon
