Creative: Autumn Leaves

Autumn is the judgement of time,
the lovely hold between
the leaving of summer
and the returning of Winter.
It counts its days
by the leaves that fall,
slowly, smoothly,
to the ground,
and the temperature that lowers
quickly, roughly,
before reaching
the call from the ice statues,
that come back to the foreground
from an eternity in the oblivious background.
