Fall

As the winds change direction and the sun grows colder

Her thoughts veiled by the faint shadows

All life slowly fades into the grey

Alone she stands brighter than ever

Revealing the approaching fall

The fascinating world around, a reticent giver

Was never her own to keep

What was borrowed shall be bequeathed

Truth, a bitter pang in her heart

Reflected within the lonely tears

Time trickles through as the day grows older

Her memories held dear fall apart

The sullen pieces drift around

Scintillating for the very last time

Painting the sky in hues of solemn colors

The dying light leaves behind shadows darker

Her thoughts obscured by sorrow

As the day finally draws to an end

Her eyes closed in complete silence

Anticipating the arrival of fall
