As autumn whispers through the trees
A chill wraps me up in my memories
Muffled cries, shadows cast
Echoes f a close past.

The fallen leaves dance in twirling hues
Filling my heart with bittersweet blues
Each shuffling sound, a haunting call
A reminder of the rise and fall.

I fear the breeze that cuts so deep
The long dark nights that steal my sleep
Yet in the golden glow, I find
A slight hope trying to conquer my mind.

For every shadow hides a light
A star lighting up the night
So I’ll let the seasons shift and dance
I’ll embrace autumn’s golden chance.

With open arms, I’ll face the chill
Welcome the change, the soul’s unconscious will
For though the past may haunt the ground
In the season joy will be found.
