Time Passing

  Late evening and a silver sky   Is all that's left.  The colors die   And every leaf on every tree,   Is etched in blackest filigree.   It's morning and the world awakes.   Mist rises from the woods and lakes   And all too soon, the summer's gone.   Some vestiges still linger on,   But in the breeze, I hear her sigh   In mournful tones, "Goodbye, goodbye!"   The afternoon is tinged with gold,   As autumn uses colors, bold,   In one last fling, before she flies   From winter's cold and icy eyes.   Time passing makes no slightest sound,   But in the aftermath is found   Some changes she has left behind,   For us, with rueful thoughts, to find.
