Autumn
The summer's gone -
She's left again
Taken her green songs
and walked away
She's left behind
an aging maid
who drifts around
in golds and browns
Yet life's love song
will linger on-
With you around,
Summer's never gone
Our world has lost
it's lively ways
Life grown quiet
in Winter's haze
Day's hours too short
Dark nights too cold
Though I'll stay warm
in love's safe hold
Yes, life's love song
Will linger on
Love lasts with more
than summer's song
Spring must come back
soon soothe away
Old Winter's frown,-
Her blacks and greys.
A fresh new song
will free the ground
And fill the air
With Summer's sounds
So life's love song
makes the season's one
They pass as years,
Love's song lingers on.

Written in 1976-for my first husband.
I have been writing poetry since I was sixteen.
Never posted most of it, so "older"poems will now be dated in chronological order of writing.
