I saw a leaf float past my window

and it reminded me that the autumn, fall,

is on it way, as summer begins to peel away

and those lovely warm evenings fade to grey

and those green leaves, at least those that remain,

will turn into a fiery red display

and those that fall start going brown and crisp,

ready for decay.

As autumn, fall comes natures colours put on a resplendent display,

in an effort to try and brighten up darker days,

and echo warmth in times of cold,

many are striking and many are bold,

it reminds me that I must pay

more attention at natures array,

that contrast to the chiaroscuro sky,

showing that this is not a time when all flowers die,

some in this time truly strive and invigorate,

the scene before my eyes

and leaves me happy and full of hope.

in a way…
