September Rain

September Rain When the cool September rain comes calling round Laying Autumns coloured leaves upon the ground Time to wash away the dust of summer days And walk on through Autumns fine displays When the cool September rain bursts from the clouds Bringing colourful wet leaves tumbling around All the beauty of the Autumn is on show Nothing can compare to Autumns fiery glow When the cool September rain comes round again Bringing wonderful bright colour through the rain Time to open eyes and look up to the trees Giving up their summer cloak with every breeze When the cool September rain falls on my face I turn up my collar then I hasten my pace For the summer sun has gone now and its chill Though the Autumn leaves still fill my heart with thrill When the cool September rain then leaves the sky And the fleeting rainbow's glory has gone by I give thanks for untold beauty all around As I watch more damp wet leaves come to the ground When the cool September rain is falling down And the leaves are fifty burnished shades of brown There's such dazzling colour flying everywhere I could stand alone for hours and just stare When the cool September rain fall comes to pass Then a cold and lonely winter is forecast And I pull my brightest memories out again And once again I feel cool September rain Jane Shields 16th September 2016
