Summer and Autumn (Yellow and Brown)

Life
a gift, a miracle

the smallest vine
pushes its way up
a new life

Summer
a season
the sun shines down
mercilessly
the clouds do its job
it blocks the sun
but not for long

and the days go by

Summer
all in bloom

but its ending
very soon

and the summer fades slowly

the days get shorter and colder
the sun isn't so hot anymore

leaves of crimson and yellow
all drift to the forest floor
apples sprawled across the ground
all ripe and juicy

Autumn
a cooler season
leaves all change
into different shades
of the sunset

and the crimson leaves turn brown
they lie on the ground
till there isn't any life in them

Autumn
fading fast

all the trees are bare
except for one
it holds the last leaf of the autumn

the wind blows
the branch breaks
the leaf drifts down

Autumn
it cries and sighs in remorse
all the leaves are gone
it fades away

and winter sets in
