Should I Fear My Autumn

should I fear my autumn
when Juniper wilts with me
and the sagging stars above
edge closer to the sea

should I fear my autumn
with winter still to show
my days hasten their step
for night engulfs me so

Deep and heartfelt write this is dear clive. Youv expressed so well here. And the opening line and title really is evocative and in such a metaphorical manner youv expressed so much here, sometimes we wonder, whether we should fear certain seasons of time, when all seems to fade, and skies are adorned with sagging stars; but to embrace them all is what we can do. Pleasure reading your work
