Autum Melodies

AUTUMN MELODIES
by
E C Wesch

A chiseled wind
cuts through the trees
like a knife slicing a tart.
And Mother Nature strips
like Gypsie Rose Lee
in prelude to a new seasons start.

Discarding her coat
of many colours
in a graceful abandon of life.
She tosses her adornments
to those who linger
enjoying life's freedom from strife.

The melodious rustle
of carolling branches
add harmony to the whistling breeze.
And lullabys sung
in the evening light
are echoing through the trees.

The cataclysm of changes
in the Autumn of time
occur each and every day.
While the busy Sandman
sprinkles the land
preparing its slumbering way.
