When we see summer changes <br />The clothes we wear quickly disappear, <br />And the next season rearranges <br />Clouds more fastidious in the atmosphere. <br /> <br />The fall is here; it means a new challenge <br />For our clothes, shoes and hair <br />From the warmth of summer to darker rage <br />Autumn quietly drifts in unaware. <br /> <br />Let the autumn rain fall upon you, <br />Let the autumn rain beat upon the trees <br />Until the leaves fall down and become new. <br />Let the autumn season fondly release <br /> <br />The changes that time replicates <br />Shadows on the floor and rain in the air, <br />With pools of water running off the trees <br />And wash down into the gutter. <br /> <br />Let the rain fall softly while you sleep <br />And make the rhythm night beat <br />With a lullaby playing upon the housetop, <br />A note of intrigue to adorn the light. <br /> <br />When pools of water from the sidewalk <br />Splash upon you with quick surprise, <br />It makes you walk with a watermark <br />To stain the perfect spot on our tresses.<br /><br />Gerry Legister<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autumn-rain-8/
