Cloud and gloom hang low
Sunshine nowhere in sight
Herein lies autumn mood
Fallen leaves make beds on the floor
holding onto the leaves that's left
and thanks to these old dry limbs
Color despair and sadness
with a coat of hope:
'Winter an etching
Spring a watercolor
Summer an oil painting
And autumn a mosaic of all'
What a luminous work of art
I'm falling in love with Fall!
