The Last Autumn Tree


The Last Autumn Tree
By Lord R.e. Taylor

Autumn is half over
Less sun and cool weather 
Tree after tree fall asleep
Dropping their leaves
As the fall into a deep sleep
Yet one refuses its fate
Leaves cling to their branches
Fighting as hard as it can
It becomes a temple of red and gold
Remaining until the first snow falls
When sleep overtakes it
And it becomes like the others
Waiting for spring to return
When life begins again
