When summer ends her glorious colour bright
The song of birds not heard at morning's dawn
The fields are ploughed and shimmer in soft light
Little drops of dew covering mowed lawn

All shades are dimmed to orange and dark brown
The lambs have grown into their adulthood
And maple trees wear proudly their gold crown
Those signs can never be misunderstood

When sun sets in a flaming red farewell
We know the change of seasons is right there
That Autumn is about to cast its spell
And nature has a different tune to share

Autumn's magic in heart we will behold
And with each season we're slowly growing old

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

At least as we grow old....the colours of autumn stay forever young. Well...too me they do...hee hee. Much enjoyed this Titia.
hugs, Chris

I behold autumn's magic also through your beautiful words, Titia.

Yes, also our life has its rhythms like the seasons and there is beauty in every phase.

Love,
Margherita
