Somber Scene

Dead leaves lay upon my lawn Barren trees from Autumns dawn I look outside at what went on Another Summer come and gone Gloomy skies of cloudy gray Aching bones from falling rain Discontent with seasons change I think I'll stay inside today Turn the thermostat on high Ok, maybe sixty five Just enough to stay alive And somehow, maybe, just survive Water drips from houses eaves Inundating fallen leaves Has me longing for reprieve From up and coming Winter siege Rockman
