Autumn

Autumn slips in slowly,

Stumbling and taking time.

It encourages growing things

To burn brightly,

Before letting them

Fall away.

Autumn is the wind itself,

Determined to be free.

The cold joins in like

And old friend, never

Darting away.

Autumn slips into

Its brother,

Leaving cold and wind.

Forgotten itself,

But never truly falling away.

Author's note:

Okay, I was made to do this, but I'm thanking Liam for holding up the notebook I had this written on while I typed it.
