the spirit of autumn is the wind
for it must stir the falling leaves
the leaves are an omen of death
bleeding out their final colors
the spirit of autumn is not sad
it is a time of harvest
it is a time of feast and gathering
it is the sound of children playing
for we would stay outdoors in fall
to linger till the light must fade
another season passes on
and speaks its lesson for today
the winter comes
the trees are stripped
the cycle of the earth and life
must sleep until the spring
the spirit of autumn is not sad
it is a time of feast and gathering
