Not As Much
The auburn colors glisten
As the sweet showers fall.
The morning's brisk
As the winds blow thru.
The night's cold as if
Father Time is angry.
Yet the colors are still
As gentle as you.
Can you hear that?
The rustling of a squirrel?
Things seem more calm
In the autumn nights.
People aren't as prone
To scamper aimlessly about.
The chill in the air
Sends them inside for cover.
I enjoy that about autumn
Not as much noise.
Not as much traffic.
Not as much insanity.
