And Through...'til Autumn

Leaves will fall,
Temperatures will drop,
The winter coats will be put on,
And, eventually, winter will have to come.
But for the time being,
Enjoy autumn.

Go to the park,
Stroll through,
Watch and see,
And be awed by the beauty.
Go to the park.
Where...

Lips will smile,
Cheeks will flush in crisp air,
Throats will talk,
And hands will hold another.

Nod with agreement,
Understand,
And wonder
Why you never realized that...

That smile makes a stranger happy,
That flush brings back childhood memories,
That talk describes a beautiful autumn,
And that touch makes you smile.

Go home,
Survive winter,
Spring,
Summer...

End up back at autumn,
And smile to yourself,
Before you head out
For a lovely stroll in the park.
