Trumpet Call

My heart is the same full of love
     My house that shelters it full of pain
But it's autumn in my life, Dove
      The hair of gray and wrinkles reign

I set the table full of food
        For the family to dine fun times
But it is autumn in my life
       When changes prepare for winter

I'm not sure I'll know winter now
        For I have not experienced it
But it's autumn in my life somehow
        Where beauty glows bright from the depths

Producing leaves of many hues
       Love the autumn of my life, Dove
Now all that's left winter's white snow
        I think that when winter comes cold

Plants freeze if left out in weather
      They will need a warmer place inside
But since it is just autumn now
       There's time to prepare room somehow

I still watch the birds from window
       They have not all gone away love
But it's autumn in my life now
        Soon most will be gone for winter

Winter soon will approach with cold
       Seemingly death of the roses
But it's autumn in my life my bold
       There are few thoughts of approaching winter

But when winter comes my way
        The body rest to rise another spring
Now it's autumn in my life this day
         On another day I'll be called by trumpet away

I like these kinds of poems about the autumn of our lives. I think the older we get, we enjoy writing them too! Nice one, and about astrology, I do not care about daily horoscopes or letting it rule my life, but I honestly believe it has some merit. It has helped me to understand people with different "attitudes" brought on by the elments in their chart! And yes, my church certainly does not encourage it, but maybe there IS something to it?? LUv, Andrea

People are always celebrating summer, but I've lived long enough to know that the autumn years can be the most fulfilling. Keep embracing the autumn, dear Sara, winter will arrive all too soon. Very nicely written! Love, Carolyn
