Summer's End

The days begin to shorten
Autumn comes on
My soul like a mirror
Within me, shadows grow long

Sweet and bitter emotions reflect
Life's strange reverie
Of what came before
And of all that will be

Sharp
Crisp
Autumnal air
Gone are the warm nights
So soothing, so fair

The surrounding light has changed
The focus is clearer
My memories all play for me
Growing somehow ever dearer

Through these days
Of summer's end
Preparing for the winter sleep
The feelings caused by autumn
Are mysterious and deep
