Kay Barcelon - Autumn

Autumn

Fall is the only time of the year
When you fall in love with everything
The smell of the pumpkin and sour-sweet cider
The green leaves turning brown and then falling

When the sharp autumn wind blows
Why is the cool breeze exciting?
You know the dust and the smoke follows
And a smell of a whole lot of things burning

There are nuts and sticks on the ground
Every dead leaf and dried pod rattles
Stepping on some makes a magical sound
Won’t even care if you step on spiders

I love fall and the cloudy sky
I love the fact that the air is cool
It is nice to cuddle anytime we try
Even watching a cold and dirty pool

I love fall; even it makes my skin chilly red
Even when my silly dog can spell burr
You can smile even if you have burned the bread
Laugh even if the weather is too cold for shower

I love fall; the cold air makes a warm breath
So beautiful, so kissable and smells like an apple
You can be assured I will hold you ‘til death
I promise I will let you love me until I crumble

Only in the Fall…
