The leaves had collected on the ground The wind had turned a cooler shade Somehow there was a familiar sound In every chorus Nature made Freshest of air, sweetest of smell Hoping to hold onto this moment in time Keeping his silence, wanting to tell All who would listen to his mind With a new season, old season’s memory brings Foretelling also future if dared to dream Seeing this and many more things, But the visions are never what they seem What is Autumn if not a subconscious metaphor A wake up call before the dead that is winter His heart cries out like never before Even as the trees crack, and splinter Terrible though, that the knowledge is gained That beginnings fade into endings twilight And all that is achieved is somehow in vain Like the quickening coming of Winter’s night |

What is Autumn if not a subconscious metaphor A wake up call before the dead that is winter His heart cries out like never before Even as the trees crack, and splinter Terrible though, that the knowledge is gained That beginnings fade into endings twilight And all that is achieved is somehow in vain Like the quickening coming of Winter’s night ========================= could those verses be any cooler? could they have more cleverly done imagery and angst? me thinks not... and Im always listening to that poetic mind Did you make it to the Milky Way, |
