Autumn
Nature Poem
The silence of walking
on leaves and small brances
lifeless on the floor
the colour of blood
on the trees and skyes
the smell of water
crystal clear
running and taking everything with it
the sound of nothing
that is why I love you
autumn
birds fighting the cold
dears hiding from the gun
squirrels biting each other for food
a cruel, cruel world
full of beauty and warmth
the amazing contrast
that is why I love you
autumn
the need to feel
somebody else’s touch
the melancholy gaze
into the dark
the fire creeping its way
through the wood
everyday’s fading into nothing
that is why I love you
autumn
you leave me speechless
full of death
and wonders
you make me want to run
and scream
you silence me
that is why I love you
autumn
