Autumn Wind The autumn wind is playful He makes the leaf fairies joyful He chases them here and there Lifting their skirts in the air He plays with the wind chimes Composing his own rhymes Through the blustery day He continues to play Until tired at last Happy he’s had a blast He makes his departure For another venture Now the forest is still The night air has a chill Reminding one and all That winter will not stall Thus enjoy the season For that very reason ~~~ © Copyright 2015 Regis Auffray  Autumn Tears Leaves like autumn tears Fall endlessly to the soil A carpet of gold It’s a sad refrain Heard from the song of the rain Falling on the roof Autumn has arrived With the wind as maestro Symphony of storm In the autumn woods The fairies have begun to paint The leaves of the trees Golden days of fall Give way to days of silver As November fades High on the mountains A light dusting of new snow Promises winter There is restlessness On the outer edge of fall Where winter awaits The birds have fled south Winter has begun his siege The woods are silent By the frozen pond The wind is playing a harp In the brittle reeds Just before the snow There is a scent in the air An expectation A sudden snow squall A disarray of snowflakes Usher in winter ~~~ © 2011 Régis Auffray |
