Fall guest

Maple, maple and the warm skies

A downfall that couldn’t be a demise

A clover leaf is petalled four again

And you’re just as incidental, as I am wise

 

I am grateful for every word you speak

My reasons to smile through the yellow woods’ deep

Maple, maple- their colours are a treasure

I have kept you longer than I planned to keep

 

Autumn sky is but a vacation of the hues

They leave and leave behind the blues

I have saved you like I save the maple leaves

Not all love in this world, can be put to a use.
