Swept away, the flower’s bloom

By autumn’s changing ways

Replacing colors, blending hues

Of leaves that fall where they may

And rise again in the swirling winds

Scattering in a rainbow of dance

Until the trees lay barren, bare

Awaiting another chance

To blossom once again in tune

With nature’s call to play

As sunlight melts away the gloom

Of winter’s faded ways
