Autumn

Dear Autumn,

Please stay just a little bit longer

Your beauty is too beautiful for me to lose

Why do you come around if you're never going to stay?

I search every day for another way to embrace your bouquet

Your beauty makes my heart stronger

And when you fade to winter it feels like abuse

Red, orange and gold decorate the ground and sky

You're three months here and nine months gone

All I can do is try to save your glory in pictures

Every year you fade quicker and injure this fixture

Of seasons

When all I want to do is stay with you
