Season Of The Fall
Upon the lake of silver sunlight
Sway soft particles of gold
Where diamond splinters of crystal light
Break out in shards of white and gold
I watched two robin red breasts fly
Soar then swoop above the lake
Chilled air beneath each feathered wing
A whistling wind caught in their wake
Now autumn extends her icy grip
To dancing leaves that graceful swirl
They fall so crisp from towering tears
Those leaves that tumble twist and curl
Beneath skeletal branches a silent breeze
Helps sweep away the crisp brown shower
Amongst the outstretched branching trees
A mighty oak stands like a tower
All below stand within its shadow
Beneath a sheltering silhouette
The flowers that grow within the meadow
Will still be growing when the sun has set
So when the fall has covered all
And the daylight sun has faded
When all is hidden by the human eye
And by the moon is shaded
A chilling frost will sweep across
Whilst in deep sleep we slumber
Then when outside the rain it falls
And the clouds burst out in thunder
We will not forget
Now the sun has set
That autumn holds such wonder
