My Autumn

 

Cooler weather.

Windows open.

Breezes enter.

 

It is fall…for the earth

And for me.

This is the fall of my life.

 

Like a leaf that has been too long

On the tree,

I have begun to dry up

 

But, oh…

Look at my colors!

 

I may not be new.

No longer supple.

Youth left a season ago.

 

Yet, I have become

More interesting.

Something to press between the pages.

 

This is a time

I will savor

For the winter of my life.
