Softly Autumn Comes

Softly Autumn comes to comfort me,
Dead leaves falling signal apathy.
Gentle comes Autumn’s autumn redress,
Brown foliage greets my eyes, dropping nests.

Dead leaves falling signal apathy,
Projects prone to Life’s living disease,
Brown foliage greets my eyes, dropping nests,
Causing me to wonder what is next.

Projects prone to Life’s living disease,
Now seems the same as Fall’s falling leaves,
Causing me to wonder what is next,
Brown foliage greets my eyes, dropping nests.

Now seems the same as Fall’s falling leaves,
The life of Life, recovering me.
Dead leaves falling signal apathy,
Softly Autumn comes to comfort me.

Dead leaves, apathy, living disease, dropping nests, an undressing of nature to the impending bleakness of winter, and you find comfort? I like that!

One has to love the strokes of ennui and melancholy you threaded these thoughts together with Erin.

Light and wisdom ...

. . .and every leaf is feeding Spring. This is g r e a t, Erin.
Autumn and Spring both get to me. Bet they do you. All about dying. . .and being reborn. Ahhhh, life. Painful as it can be,
it has its moments. Seize every one!! Love and Hugs, Pea

Autumn's splendor is a carnival of nature's colors and then the headress falls for renewal in spring after winter's sleep. Isn't it wonderful to enjoy the difference?
I love your poem.
Susan
