The heat of summer is no longer so bold
And winter's chill has yet to catch hold
For now all attention is upon autumn leaves
And the intricate beauty that every one weaves

Their allure is one of patience and grace
They know they won't long be in this place
But until they fall or are blown away
They seem to take joy in the roles that they play

As objects of splendor and markers of time
Their example is perfect and wholly sublime
Gracing the streets from the morning's first light
Reminding all of the beauty of life

When autumn leaves
And winter calls
It leaves its leaves
In frigid stalls

Before they freeze
Those autumn leaves
They lie in stacks

The barn fires of old had leaves piled so very high
their flames got so high, they touch the earthly sky.
Even as the fires
