Seasonal Poem: Fallen Days

Fallen Days

Crisp air, 

Crisp leaves 

Crisp apples.

All things seemingly,

Normal in these months. 

Looking back, 

The fallen moments 

Of the fleeing summer days, 

Days of cold water 

And steaming sun. 

But alas, 

Those are

All but 

Fallen days now. 

Making your 

Way to a festival 

A season filled with  

Dramatics

And plays. 

And all just to recall, 

The fallen moments. 

The

Words 

“When it was summer…”

Frequent use.

The change is in the air, 

Do you feel it yet? 

The fallen days, 

Not to be days you forget, 

As the leaves fall, whispering a goodbye,

As all that is old becomes new again.

All that is hurt heals.

And the number of days takes its toll,

As the red leaves fall

Down

Down

Down.
