Autumns leaves, turned to brown
And with them, all the colors drown
Replaced by flakes of purest white
On barren limbs, a weary sight
Winter snow covers what is left
But here I wonder, quite bereft
Why autumn lost her blazing spark
Naked, cold, she embraces dark

The weather was turning. I could feel the winter wind strike a glancing blow across my face. Teary eyed, I watched, accepting the fact autumn would be leaving me. Icier days grew closer, and I drew deeper into myself. I couldn’t bear watching, for fear I’d never see her again.

The rustle of dried up leaves
No welcome sound to ancient ears
Another season comes to an end
Autumn’s gone, as winter nears
How he hates the cold, dark days
When the wind whips through his bones
How he longs for summertime
When warmth is offered, as his home
Cardboard walls, no privacy
Kicked about by strangers feet
Unaware, that he lives there
To them it’s just another street
On days where he can stand the cold
He sits, bundled in a threadbare coat
Hoping they’ll notice how hungry he is
Carefully reading his scribbled note
Most will only smile, in dismay
Not really knowing what they fear
And he sits on the sidewalk, outside his box
As his darkness draws another tear

The chill in the air, ever so slight
A hint of winter’s calling
Barren lay the autumn trees
Their leaves no longer falling
The smell of fires burning
Lovers, warm beside the glow
Crystals form on window panes
From the touch of newest snow
Frosted evergreen needles
Red berries shimmering bright
Seasons changing once again
Ever so quickly, overnight
