Autumn
The time when the leaves gracefully hit the ground
With there yellow, orange, and red hues
It’s a beautiful site

It’s not always a great time for everyone
The trees depart this life, but will be reincarnated in the up and coming seasons
They are forced to be released into an awfully ugly form
But are beautiful none the least

The temperature is…
Feeling calm
Like a smooth summers breeze
Calling for its departure, into winter

If you can truly
Hear the sound of the leaves hit the dead-grass ground
And the trees last breaths
Then you know when fall is here
