Fall

The sky is grey today

It cries upon the glass

There is no sun today

You can feel sadness in the grass



The air is cold as the wind blows

I begin to feel frost on the tip of my nose



Fall is finally here and summer is away

I shiver in my chair and wish the sun would stay



This dark and dreary weather makes me want to sleep

It's difficult to stay awake, my consciousness I can not keep



My eyes begin to close

And then my whole body knows

That today is a day to rest

My breathing deepens now and my heart beats slowly in my chest



I dream I am on a sunny beach

But the waves I can not seem to reach

This is because it is only a dream

I am not quite where I wish to be



Reality sinks in as I feel the cold

My body shrivels up as if I am old



I decide it's time to find some heat

No longer will I sit in this seat

As I walk, my blood begins to flow again

I walk quickly- as fast as I can



I know the warmer air is not far from me

I have now found where I want to be



I open the door and the heat pours out

As I warm the outside, I want to scream and shout

I am finally warm and not so cold

I feel young again instead of old



I have become warm and now I am glad

However I am also sad



I know that I can not stay here forever

Myself and the heat must leave together

As I walk outside, the cold rushes in

And now I begin to feel the pain again



Fall is finally here and summer is away

I shiver in my chair and wish the sun would stay
