Nature's Death Brings Life

The summer’s warmth is slowly fading,
Making room for the autumn chill
As the nurturing wind brushes the air
And whispers serenity.

The leaves have changed their colors
And grown frail.
By thousands they fall
And learn to dance the Waltz of Death.

Oh what a beautiful time of the year
When leaves fall like rain
And burn bright like fire!

The kids rejoice with laughter
As the leaves begin to tickle.
The brittle leaves have formed the perfect playground.
With different shades of yellow, red, orange, and brown
Together the colors vary beautifully.

Can you picture the fun festivity of children
Frolicking and frisking in the foliage?
Just listen and watch as their happiness grows.
The sunset compliments their smile
As they jump and twirl.

So sit and enjoy what nature brings to you.
Let the wind sing you a lullaby
As you drift away with its enchantment.
Let the smell of Nature’s death
Teach you how to fly with the gentle wind.

The leaves have changed their colors
And grown frail
Only to fall and dance their way towards death
To bring life and joy to the despairing Earth.

When I wrote this poem I thought about my childhood memories. I remember sitting outside enjoying the autumn weather and all its beautiful colors.
