It still surprises me

When seasons prepare to depart.

It is always a passage

Which comes inevitably

When I am not looking!

Not that I am unaware -

The tell-tale leaves are everywhere!

Yet in my heart I yearn to stay

Here in summer -

It is the warmth within

Which carries me into fall.

Fall is not as positive

It denotes endings .

Autumn, as a word, sounds brighter

Filled with wondrously lit days

Until a sneaky chill

Reminds me of winter days to come.

The change is subtle and predictable

For us here in temperate climes

It is always a passage

Inevitably beautiful each time it occurs!

It still surprises me

When seasons prepare to depart.

It is always a passage

Not that I am unaware -

The tell-tale leaves are everywhere!

Here in summer -

It is the warmth within

Which carries me into fall.

Fall is not as positive
