Signs of Fall

dead leaves on the dirt ground lie

shades of browns and yellows,

surrounded by pale grasses that

soon will be tainted brown as well;

fall comes every year unfortunately

as cold replaces warmth and the

earth returns to its state of rebirth

leaving all the memories of what

had been out in the cold to die;

wicked are the cycles as they weave

their way through our lonely lives,

without any cares or concerns that

might prevent their yearly returns;

life abandons itself regularly as it

retraces itself through the months,

destroying that life for another

that will return all to soon again.
