The soulful sound of crickets sing
As summer starts to fade
Skies begin to turn to gray
The leaves, no longer jade

Songs of chirping birds
That lingered in the trees
Are now the haunting melodies
Imprisoned in the breeze

The autumn air, enticing
It calls me out to play
To welcome in the changes
As Fall returns this day
