Windswept Trees

It is late autumn with windswept trees,
Now stripped of leaves
Once vibrant with colorful hues,
Now dull, lacking brilliance, or
Windswept and leafless.

Oak trees, deeply rooted, now
Russet and muted
Stragglers, rarely leafless til spring.
Setting the mood bleak,
It is late autumn with windswept trees.
