The awakening of a new era
signified by the leaves
orange, brown, and red
reave what was once green
Halloween creeps around the corner
as neighborhoods fill with fright
The shadow of Fall, sent to replace the colors that were far too bright
A faint sound can be heard
similar to the crackle of leaves
A smell of roasted marshmallows
hollow over the branches that fell from the trees
A new image of nature
fills the world from wall to wall
A sight of beauty, a new season
but still it all falls
