WHISPERS OF AUTUMN

WHISPERS OF AUTUMN

It wasn’t long before early man realised
The turn of the seasons, a pattern repeated
And that it could be predicted they soon surmised
A change to the last one, as each had completed

But Winter was a loud moan, as bitter winds blew
Feeling no guilt for all the growth it had deprived
Then a joyful Spring would bring forth everything new
And soon, a deep warm breath, as Summer had arrived

The subtlety of Autumn always delivered some peace
In a red and gold carpet from leaves that were green
A season of memories, as the year’s end of lease
But a canvas of colours that people have seen

One might just hear the messages that it will send
With the whispers of Autumn as it nears its end
