Nature's Timeless Tale

There's a fire out in yonder woods 
   Blazing orange and crimson red
Bestirring passion in our hearts 
   Sweet verses in our heads

It races over courtship's trail
   Sweeps past each hill and dale,
     Consuming every twig and leaf
       Nature's timeless tale ...

~ Alas: Love's brilliant, flaming colors
       Gray as ashes in their grief
