The fall season is sad to me,
No joy found in the cooling breeze,
Leaves fall to ground give me no glee.
I think of love's many degrees.
A young love that blooms in the spring,
Grows and thrives in summertime sun,
Everything perfect for queen and king,
But autumn find love almost done.
All that's left is winter's cold chill,
To shatter love's bough to the quick.
Leaving lovers to pay the bill,
And dismantle love brick by brick.
Spring awaits the fair maiden's thoughts,
Will love return or will it naught.

Ah, the mysteries of life.

Now, if I could only find my crystal ball!

My crystal ball has turned cloudy and will not cooperate. Thanks, Sunshine.

Fall and Winter are perfect seasons for lovers, all the cuddling and stuff ha. but it can be a cold killer for the lonely. Enjoyed.

"all the cuddling and stuff"

You are so right about that above, Trina, and especially correct about the lonely. I have tasted both as most people have.

That image you had of the maiden counting daisy's was the correct one, Lori. Thanks for being here . . . Always.
