8630 Autumn
[by S. David] [art by Nata Ibragimov]

Once was
Young
Vibrant
Green
And time
Fleeing
Growing
Older
Flowering
Fulfilling
Nature’s plan
And time
Time passages
And colors
Call a last
Call to beauty
Green to
Orange to
Red to
Orange again
A last gasp
And fall
Autumn
Upon and
Upon her
A sadness
For fleeting
Follies of
Spring and
Summer as
Days shorter
Turn cold
