Sun’s hanging low
Air’s cooling off
Seasons are shifting
And the summer is lifting
Fall is falling
Wind begins wailing
Leaves gather
On the sidewalks
Kicking up with
Feet chasing deeds
Things to do
Now that it’s cold
Outside on the street
And warm inside
It’s time to open
Windows while we sleep
And wear three
Jackets when we walk
Cavalry to crunching
Dead tree leaves
Uniform in orange
Red and yellow
Brown in bark and woe
In the gutters
When the breeze
Picks up and leaves
Partly cloudy
Where sunlight and
Shadow battle
For supremacy
And where is shade
There is respite
Even in early morning
Frost’s bite
In the September sky
We celebrate
As the sun leaves
And leaves fall
Consume Reality!
