Autumn’s Progression
As sun setting on summer’s procession
Requesting strength, clarity, direction
While autumn creeps insidiously near
It drags along with it prophetic fear
Slowly solar rays are meeting demise
While their presence replaced with darkened skies
They're surrounded with murkiness and gloom
Eradicating multi-colored bloom
Heart broken, bleeding pulse slowly ceases
Solid concrete clogs cognitive creases
Tightly clinging to maintain existence
Shadows will render absent resistance
As flame flickers threatening wax and wick
Extinction a result of fog too thick
An hour diminished for many moons
Dread multiple months minus songbird tunes
Ultimately restored when bulbs unfold
Rocky course will emerge from night of cold
