Summer falls to autumn's grip
As skies fade to grey
Green is siphoned from the leaves
By autumn's chilly, windy thieves
A swift swarm of burnt Amber
A growing flame;
A leaf tumbles from a tree
Tossed about the solemn breeze
For from its home it must now flee
To join its brothers
A single glowing ember
A remnant of September
Now lay strewn amidst the others
To be trodden by winter's feet
