Late evening and a silver sky is all that's left. The colors die and every leaf on every tree, is etched in blackest filigree. It's morning and the world awakes. Mist rises from the woods and lakes and all too soon, the summer's gone. Some vestiges still linger on, but in the breeze, I hear her sigh, in mournful tones, "goodbye, goodbye". The afternoon is tinged with gold, as autumn uses colors, bold, in one last fling, before she flies from winter's cold and icy eyes. Time passing makes no slightest sound, but in the aftermath is found, some changes she has left behind, for us with rueful thoughts, to find. signature--> Previously published on The Poetic Link and by Drury's Publishing in their 2000 Who's Who in Writers Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (edited 04-02-2001).] |

This is very nice, as usual. :-) You write with a beautiful flow and imagery. To love another person is to see the face of God. |

The seasons change and we sometimes complain. But truthfully, we wouldn't have it any other way?  Lovely poem, Betty Lou. Thanks. "The only thing new in the world, is the history we don't know." Harry S. Truman [This message has been edited by coyote (edited 04-02-2001).] |

Dear Betrty This is beautiful, but please don't send our spring away yet. I tried to work in the garden and I could only work in a sheltered nook, the wind was so cold. Joyce |

Dear Maree: Thank you very much for your nice comments. Autumn is also my favorite season, but it does give me wanderlust! I want to pack my bags and go anywhere! Betty Lou Hebert |
