The Whispers Of Autumn

 

I know a forest where the trees grow old,
and standing quiet I hear their sad sighs;
weather is changing it is getting cold,
soon my green leaves will die one Oak tree cries.

The Beech tree a leafy canopy tall,
murmurs a lament to the autumn breeze;
Fir, Pine and Poplar rustle, growl and call,
yes, after the red and orange we freeze.

I come upon a red Maple tree bare,
I lost all my leaves first she tells me sad;
they danced, twirled for a while without a care,
but, the Willow tree told me she was glad.

You see in the Spring new life will grow, grow;
and there is beauty in Fall . . . and the snow !

John Lawless Date: 9/23/2024 1:10:00 PM Constance, I recall a song verse "i talk to the trees but they don't listen to me". Well, it seems you do listen to them. Very nicely done take on the contest and thanks for participating.
