Changing Seasons

The leaves have been falling, there is a somberness around
Summer is finally departing, and Autumn can be found
Reaching out to Heaven, the trees are almost bare
Earth is smiling sweetly; there are changes everywhere.

Mother nature dresses down, her bright colors are put away
The universe is readying for Winter's chilly stay
All creation is letting go of lively summer's bright array
There is a preparation for the approaching shorter day.

In the air, there is a crispness that signals to all who know
That soon the heavy clouds will be coming with all the snow
A different type of beauty will ride through the changing time
And Heaven will let down sparkles: the earth will look sublime.
