Autumn bids farewell with humble hurrah
Bedecked by kaleidoscope of leaf litter,
Yet heeds bleak shadows, nature in the raw,
As waning warmth of sun turns life bitter.
Take care wild denizens of glade and stream
And townsfolk on developed village green.
Said signs bode advent of midwinter dream,
As solstice conjures Jack Frost’s austere mien.
Be unhurried oh winter’s frigid mirth,
Allay misgivings and wintertide fears,
In league with autumn talk of spring rebirth
And mid last gasp of color give three cheers.
Let divine spark preside o'er wintry breeze;
This kindles hope within the heart with ease.
This kindles hope within the heart with ease.
