Golden Gown

Golden Gown
Form: Free Verse

A carpet of gold and red adorns the forest floor
You always loved the autumn leaves
Kicking your way through
Making your own path
Without dismay in the autumn sunshine
But the leaves are falling
Leaving the forest trees bare
As is nature’s perfect design

I wish it could be forever autumn
So I could spend forever watching your delight
But as with the seasons the day came
When the world turned cold
But that is how it has to be
Until the spring in her full array
Welcomes life as it is reborn
And born it will be as is nature’s way
Once more the vibrant leaves will adorn the trees
With the promise of your return
