Where Did Fall Go?

It’s the second of November and it doesn’t feel like fall,

An  unlikely wind is upon us, failing to heed the call,

And now the day is over and as nice as it has been,

I like it much, much cooler, to keep me in my zen.

 

Now some of you that are out there, may enjoy a warmer day,

To get outside while you can to walk and run and play,

But days like this, my dear old friends, I really couldn’t care,

Because I’m the kind of dude, who likes the chilly air.

 

 

 

 

 

The Exploits of Autumn

The wind caresses each tree,

Cool and calculated, each leaf a shadow of its previous life.

Drifting downward, it’s breath taken, patiently awaiting rebirth,

Autumn’s  inevitable demise the path it must follow,

Measured in time and longing for the unknown,

The coming cold dark nights tell the story and the truth

Of life itself.
