The weather is finally changing
and my heart has long missed the autumnal
wind and rain
I met with it today after so long,
as it brushed through
my hair to say hello
The wind cooled my quaking heart,
torrid after summer's hell
to take my hand and lead me into
a world of rain and willows
Long had this world seemed so far away
Yet as I passed beneath rain clouds
and into my favorite cemetery
the fiery trees remembered me.
It was the crows who sang their
old songs on stones from long ago
My heart they recalled
for even though my body had aged another year
my love never changed
Even though someday I will fade like the sunset
turns to night
like summer into autumn
into winter
The weather is finally changing
bringing hope and days to make memories
so dear.
Each year is a gift, so never shed a tear.
