Falling Away

Falling away,

As the day turns to night.

Falling away,

Colors vanish from sight.

Falling away,

All the joy and delight;

The sweet days of Autumn

Let go and take flight.

♥

Falling away,

The sunlight, the trees.

Falling away,

The rustling leaves.

Falling away,

Summer’s warm memories;

As Autumn is carried,

Away on the breeze.

♥

Falling away,

As wintertime nears.

Falling away,

As the warmth disappears.

Falling away,

Silence rings in my ears;

As Autumn, now waning,

Retires for the year.

♥

Sleep.
