Colors of Autumn

The land filled bright maples everywhere,

The leaves falling in slow motion,

The time passing in pace,

The clock changing tunes,

The atmosphere all orange to red,

The maples pile up,

All surrounding that one piece,

Sketching the colors of autumn,

Cool temperature,

Fool friends,

In such a day,

I say it all,

Warm ground,

Storm leaves,

Wishes beyond,

All our dreams,

The winter approaching closer,

Step by step,

The days go on,

Hours by hours,

Falling leaves crashes the floor,

The sounds that feel home,

Are of those,

Rumbling maples falling from the skies.
