August Spirit - Soul of Autumn

Anthony Hall

Watching violets dance and laughing
skipping rocks across the water
happy August Spirit daydreams
while playing in a Summer pasture

But Time is always comet racing
bringing clouds of angry Winter
in the darkness, violets slumber
August Spirit in blizzard freezes

Unhappy snowman, Soul of Autumn
misery falls in orange and yellow
heavy coats of woolen worry
despair paints sidewalks and porches

Elms and Maples, hearts stripped naked
icicle hands, chilling caresses
tiny sparks of August Spirit
in every chimney roars defiance
