Colours Of Autumn

Fiery woods and golden trees

are glittering beneath clear sky

silver mist at every morning

and lonely ravens scream up high

Beholding the great vast forest

I can see the colours of autumn

Nightly frost that made flowers withered

is silent messenger of whole life's doom

Melancholy mood within nature

I feel cool touch of upcoming snow

which is born somewhere in North

Northernmost at the end of the rainbow

The burning colours of autumn

such a beatiful garment for death

last flashing of once vitality

but already is to feel dying breath

Not long within further time

all what I see is in the grip of frost

that's the eternal circle of birth and death

but still I enjoy what soon shall be lost

the everlasting colours of autumn
