                                          Whispers of Autumn

                         Whispers of wet winds on mellowing leaves
                              Herald coming of the autumn season,
                       Strip tress of their clothing, lead them to grieve
                          As swarms of swallows seek warmer regions.

                      The sky is oft spanned with gilded leaves in flight
                          Whirling with whispers of wild autumn winds 
                          And coming to rest on the ground with fright
                              After their dance in the air with a swing.

                              Whispers of dry winds in autumn of life
                           Beckon grey hairs and wrinkles on the face,
                         Weather our strength as to tread we do strive
                        And as leaves, the ground we wish to embrace.

                            Whispers of autumn turn leaves yellowish
                          And curl human lives with season`s anguish.
