Autumns Beginning

The 20th,

It's raining.

It's supposed to be fall.

What happened?

Where are the colored leaves?

Orange, red, yellow?

All I see is gloom.

All I see is the dark unending sky,

Glowering at me from above.

What is it saying?

It's telling me,

"Welcome to Autumns Beginning."

Then, the haze starts to clear,

The colors and hues show.

Orange, red, yellow!

Oh how I've missed you!

With your bright exuberance,

Filling the world with beauty!

Echoing throughout the world,

"Welcome to Autumns Beginning!"
