Flowers fade and decay through wintry hours- waiting for rebirth." Quote by Constance La France The days are shorter and darker The air is crisp and sometimes dank Flowers are wilted and some decayed The lawn’s brown and frayed Fall has devoured all summer blooms Gone are the colors and perfumes The leafless trees, become barren and stark Bees, butterflies are sparse Chipmunks are busy hoarding nuts As squirrels steal seeds for their nests Hummingbirds sip the last of their nectar To start migrating south Hydrangea's bright blooms all turn brown Bulbous flowers fall to the ground Gardens stop delivering their bounty Nature's sleepy and rests Winter blankets the ground with snow Now Spring has arrived and will sing It’s whimsical song of rebirth and growth Nature rejoices with joy
