When Autumn Calls

'Round the Summer's end
during a Saturday chore,
came a sudden reminder
breathing through the back door.

Accompanied by sounds
of a whistling breeze,
under ominous clouds
was the swaying of trees.

I stopped for a moment
trying to see through a haze
as my thoughts interveened
with the gusty displays.

The summer had lapsed
and the sights everywhere
induced memories when joined
with the crisp Autumn air

of hot apple cider
and colorful leaves,
the nights in the mansion
on Halloween eves!

The magic returns
at this time every year
as I anxiously await
a new fall to appear.
