Lady Autumn
Shall I remember her this way?
With October’s brief morning sunlight
Brushing bright yellow highlights
Through the burnished copper of her hair?
For me, she wears her best and finest.
A farewell quickening blaze of colours
That fears nothing save but for myself.
She has never been more beautiful.
“You always knew that I must pass�?
While her voice slides across the sun,
The fading sky of her knowing eyes
Locks with mine across the pale morning.
She winks and says, “Remember me this way.�?BR>As she turns and twirls her cloak of leaves,
Each season smiling in her swirling dress.
Bright memories in her shining hair.
I remember her this way.
With October’s brief morning sunlight
Brushing bright yellow highlights
Through the burnished copper of her hair.
