For Autumn and For Always

~ a collaboration by Trace and MsJewel ~

 

fall drizzle ~ artist unknown

 

 

 

When the sun won't shine
like I want it to
and my thoughts bleed shades of grey
I will lean on you

 
When your heart is sad and heavy
and cold winds seem to call
When you need arms to hold you

I’ll catch you should you fall

 

 

         

It is Autumn

the air filled with pumpkin scents

and golden hues

 

Change stirs the breeze, ruffling the leaves

once lush and green,

dressing the trees in tiny flames

f

            l

                i

                                    n

                        g

                              like rain

 in crimson red and brilliant orange

 

                                Still,

                 it’s a winsome breeze

perhaps it doesn’t know

                                 it’s almost winter….

 

When the leaves have fallen

and the breeze shivers through lonely branches,

I’ll find shelter in your arms

Knowing....

                                     I can lean on you

                                                                 you would never let me fall

in fall, we fall, and that is when we tend to lean on others to hold us up...

like a human in the autumn of life...sturdy throughout the summer of his or her life.
now it is time for that person to do some leaning back...before winter comes.

beautifully done as always with your colorful imagery.

You know it was meant to be.
