Fall

Reflections in the water

like shadows in my mind

speak to me of passing days and nights

and passing time

The falling leaves are whispering

winter's on its way

I close my eyes remembering

the warmth of yesterday

It seems a shame to see September

swallowed by the wind

and more than that it's oh so sad

to see the summer end

And though the changing colors

are a lovely thing to see

if it were mine to make a change

I think I'd let it be



But I don't remember hearing anybody asking me
