Carrie Richards Poet Free verse

October Bed

As October skies show fading places
  fading traces of yesterday...
     I will watch a sky yield a change of hue
              turning gray from shades of blue

Let the trees turn crimson red
 Let the wind bring seasons new
     I'll smile upon the pillowed earth that brings instead....
         A golden spread of autumn leaves to lay my head
