Embedded Files
By Suzanne Bobrowski
Autumn comes with biting breeze
Summer fades with falling leaves
The greens shift towards reds
As students rush to schools
To fill their heads
With knowledge and skills
That will follow them their whole life
Whether put to use
Or left to rot
Like the leaves littering the ground
Like paper scraps from a crafting child
Gliding through the sky
In warm, inviting hues
It’s nature's bolstering fanfare
At the final party that they hold
Before winter’s grasp takes over
And freezes the earth
Turning the world you see
A blinding binding white
With colors scattered
In windows from trees
Lights and ornaments twinkle
Recreating nature's song
When it itself can’t sing
All these funny things
We do to hear the melody
That the earth has made for us
Enjoy the orchestra of nature
While the notes still ring
Through the oak and blooms
Even falling leaves
Help the earth sing its song
While the beautiful outdoors
Are calm enough to walk
The cold brings its own song
Winter sings like ringing bells
Soft chimes in the wind
The carols of the passing souls
The soft strings of memory
Made into a beautiful chorus
Singing in place of nature
Because we are part of the ensemble
Every season sings a part
Of the year-long song
But the melodies are different
Each one special and unique
Special, tailored tunes
To accompany the sights
Of the season with which they play
Autumn comes with biting breeze
Summer fades with falling leaves
Winter brings dancing scenes
Spring grows back colors green
The transition of the seasons
A concert all year long
