Autumn’s Breath
_Leaves curled tight within clear pools _
_Summer’s glow leaves scarlet mark _
_Fades as coolness hardens bark _
_Dons a winter coat on mules _
_Farmers harvest rusting tools _
_Sun bows slowly into dark _
_Sings the last song does the lark _
_Cold breathes death in frailing fools _
__
_Moon shine brighter, wax each night _
_Sun bleeds last its golden light _
_Wind indues a harsh clean bite _
__
_Dying warmth within your hands _
_Coat I weave from fraying strands _
_Bubbling hot our pots and pans _
