Autumn, To Some

To some, the Autumn season may seem duller;

to me, it’s misty, magical and mellow;

trees blazing with the most amazing colours;

a rhapsody in red, orange and yellow.

Some grumble when the sun begins to slumber

and only see the night is growing long;

forget the brilliant stars that, billions, number

or that the harvest moon shines bright and strong.

For some, the Autumn is a time for sadness;

for me, when lanterns glow and fireworks boom;

a time for childish wonderment and gladness,

for when your heart is bright there is no gloom.
