September days, now in the past

Autumn changes, growing fast

Green beginning its downward flight

Shifting the seasons, colorful light

Brings about orange, russet and gold

Caught in October breezes, cold

Falling from trees, their final descent

Making way for new life, the old, now spent

Enter November, the end coming near

Leaves, in a spiral, drop, like a tear

Blending into the earth, far below

When autumn turns, into winter’s first snow
