Autumn

Every year when the time is right 
The leaves
They fall peacefully in
But never out of sight.
For it is the season of autumn
Not even the rain can penetrate as strong as autumn's blossom 
How she illuminates her dark colors in 

Shades unseen
Your satisfaction guaranteed.
Oh how
Her red leaves seem to bleed
On the concrete they lay
Forever stained.

She remains
Still autumn
Still a youth among all tremors 
The wind symbolizing her temper

You know with every move 
She radiates-
Her coldness consumed 

Autumn collects dirt and dust 
From over the years
Her unpredictability 
Follows her tears

She tears down the very structure she makes
Her safety hidden behind picket gates

Only during the day
You see

Autumn.

You can look at her and trust her 
For she is a calmness.
Nothing like you’ve felt before

On Lonely nights
Her ugliness comes racking at your door

So scared to leave her outside
Also so frightened to fully let her in



So you wait 

Patiently
For her peaceful leaves to fall again

In

Autumn.
