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
