I heard it said just yesterday
I am so tired of the long delay…

Finally the leaves are giving a hint
Autumn now has a colorful glint

I never thought that I would want
To see leaves falling and trees gaunt

Somehow is a necessary change after all
The brisk cool winds are summoning fall

During this season things don’t really die
My mind is now receptive and eager to comply

As rustling leaves cover the numbing ground
A calming sensation of acceptance abounds
