When Summer Is Gone

When Summer is gone, Fall enters the scene, Bringing with it lively, lovely hues of life - Garish garnet gives golden leaves a stiff competition; Brilliant brown leaves think twice before falling; Yellow orange shades create a dappled canopy, And when you walk under this veil of shadows, You are blessed with a gentle shower of leaves. No more hot sun to burn you, no more drenched in sweat, A gentle breeze welcomes the weary, Seasons change and with it changes life - The Summer of youth gives way to Autumnal middle age, When strength fails slowly hinting at Winter.
