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
