Autumn


You came with the tulips.
And your voice delighted me,
The way the birds' chirping pleases a tree.
Life seemed to flow with your presence.
It introduced me to multiple senses,
Like hearing the sound of swaying grains
And tasting the sweet moisture brought
By the wind.

But spring seemedto leave
Without an interlude.
Music fell into silence,
As green turned into amber.
The dry air left abittersweet scent of death,
As the placid streambecame murky
From the heat.

There is a sad comfortin knowing that
You will eventuallycome back.
But it is still along winter.
