It's Fall

Almost all the songbirds are quiet this day,
The crows now take their place, squawking their calls in the morning silence
The wind has shifted and the metal celestial chimes with their aged faces
Dance in the jet flow of the day's breath

The sky is clothed in a gray suit as the summer ebbs and
Shifts towards its predetermined chapter in the year
The brittle leaves rustle as the wind gently brushes through
The arms that held them close all summer long

It's Fall, it's Fall, it's Fall
