Analysis of Autumn in Flight
When the wind sounds within every crack round your door,
and teasing he whistles like never before.
Driving me out of my peaceful refrain,
as trees now bow to the bellowing rain.
Who ever said that autumn would come,
shutting old summer out till quite won.
Brown leaves that scatter reflected in light,
with yellows and golds of Autumn in flight.
The crisp crunch of leaves under my foot,
whirling around as the wind starts to rut.
Stabbing and taunting the Autumnal sky,
the clouds in a frenzy from their vantage on high.
The spirit of Autumn and death to renew,
new life from old and the green stems so true.
True to the cycle; this mystical flight,
the seasons own being within inner sight.
