‘Autumn Rains’

 

The chilling rains

Have blasted leaves

From black-barked trees.

Too soon has this happened

Thinking there would be  time.

–

Time to marvel

At Nature’s robust palette,

To fill the eyes and senses

With ethereal beauty

No man-made tints can challenge.

–

But like most of life

We are behind

And lose out to clockwork

Not of our making.
