Decay

Golden autumn leaves
Their vibrant hues only show
Upon Death's Doorstep

Life's final hoorah
Before winter's dread mourning
It shivers with frost

Devoid of all life
Reduced from soul to soil
Mixed with the compost

A subtle, chill breeze
Foretells the first touch of snow
Blanket the Earth in white

New scenery comes today,
As the autumn life decays
