Another brown leaf falls to the cracked concrete

The trees look bare and sad

Gray clouds cover a once bright blue sky

Songbirds have long since flown to warmer homes

Sparks fly into the air joining the stars to create a mosaic of beauty

 

Inside cozy homes, the aroma of cinnamon candles warms cold noses

Cheesy Hobby Lobby decorations are scattered throughout the room

Stacks of books are piled on every table, waiting for a rainy day

 

At last, it’s fall again
