The kleidoscopic vision of maple leaves
The tree stands in its glorious state
A performance that precludes winter's drab
When life must sleep to be reborn
Crisp breezes blow through its limbs
They give the air an edge of warning change
Pushing summer's warmth away
Pulling the breezes, polar winds due
The variegated foliage beneath crystal blue
Skies that are their purest and divine
Waning days of wonder, rains surpassing
The land cleansed for winter's entrance
Life prepares for the transformation
The extremes of frigid snowy blankets
That cover all and soothing slumber
The cycle of birth and passing again
