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 |

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 |
