October In the Air

With colors changing as winter is in route The trees stand proud as their leaves Take on a whole new meaning Knowingly possessing the power To capture my being. This time of year is for all to see It is a time for new life to be born As winter is about to be freed Slowly it greets us with each new morn. The leaves must change Their colors blending so Oranges, golds and browns Oh such a sight to behold. Enjoy them now For toworrow they may be gone They won't last forever Not like the words of a song. Try viewing them with a loved one Enjoy all they have to give Breathe deeply as you look upon them How many colors do you see? If by chance you are here next year When again they display Their beauty for all to see Will you still have your loved one There with you Or will you have to enjoy Their beauty alone And through a blinded tear.
