The Grandeur of Fall
THE GRANDEUR OF FALL
It is not disappointment that Fall brings
But reverence for its maturity
Leaves flutter slowly down as if with wings
And the cool autumn air suggests purity
With leaves of royal red and princely gold
One almost feels humbled in their presence
As trees are poised for winter to unfold
Their life cycle is their very essence
Some fruits are late in this cooling season
Yet can fall to the ground, lost in the leaves
But left undiscovered, there is a good reason
Grateful for warmth a late summer reprieves
Yet there is grandeur in the season’s end
A wonderful message autumn can send
