Sun rays bounce off each tender leaf,
Poured in colour, and stained with belief.
Relief of Winter worry slowly fades away....
In a haze of melodious birdsong and gentle child's play.
New life creeps from hiding to show the world it's face,
Gardens spring to life in the grace of the sun's rays.

Sunbathe- lazing, reading and swimming
Ultraviolet dreaming, burning and singing.
Memories of swingball, and barbecues, and sand
Mean people recreate fires, and kiss holding hands.
Everyone smelling the freshness of the air around,
Remembers their childhood- hair bleached, and their skin browned.

And falling leaves of varying colours decorate the floor
Underestimate the beauty of the autumn, wish for summer once more.
Times change- light becomes dark, long sleeves begin to appear
Understanding the need for change makes your depression disappear.
Means are not a way to the end, but more to a new start,
Nothing more to say, but that Autumn is at home in my heart.

When the sun hides behind it's own cloud of grey,
Is that when the umbrella hides you from the pouring rain?
Normality drives the pressing need for the daily grind,
Taken? Into daydreams, wishing time would just rewind.
Eternally snuggled in your comfy slacks with a steaming hot drink
Rotating...recycled memories fading faster than you might think.

(The snow litters the ground where the leaves were yesterday,
The one thing we embrace is the promise of Christmas Day.
And after that is over, we join hands for Auld Lang Syne...
And thank heaven for the chance to live it one more time.
And the years cycle their experiences like the trees shed their leaves,
Walk on through the weather- And see what You believe.)
