Scarlet Leaves

I feel it in the air

That fresh breeze

That glimmering sunlight

Summer has faded away

It has vanished

Here it is

Here is fall

The leaves float down

Dancing in the wind

Autumn

It is full of memories

Memories are like delicate crystal orbs

I hold on tight to them

The golden, red leaves are brilliant in the light

The orbs of memories come flooding back to me

Flashbacks of laughing friends

I see a person I once admired

The shy way he smiled

The way he looked at me

It said it all

Autumn

I love the refreshment it gives

The light blue skies with clouds streaked across

I love how even the birds chirp cheerfully

How the leaves sway in the wind

They sing a song when they do

They sway back and forth and gently wave to me

They say good-bye, good-bye

Soon, winter is coming
