UNEXPECTED AUTUMN
The colours haven’t changed yet in the Autumn trees
Yet many have already lost their Summer leaves
Often in the past songbird’s chanting you would hear
But no birds are seen nor heard anywhere near this year
On the mountain top Winter has brought some early snow
To forest floors where wild pigs roam and poison mushrooms grow
This is a country place where people are loud and crude
Sometimes you can hear unwanted talk that strikes as very rude
I would never have chosen to live in this place here
But it was just the flow of life, a stroke of fate, destiny
For in this life of ours we live so hard and dear
Many things happen quite unexpectedly
