Autumn Shades Of Grey Poem by Phil Soar

Autumn Shades Of Grey



There are times when the world seems a dark, cold shade of grey
Times when all I want to do is hide my self away,
There are moments when the deeper shade envelops everything
The mornings darken, nights grow long, its depth over-whelming

The autumn shades of deepest brown and red, merge into one
The green and pleasant land immersed, is shutting down among
The cold a misty morning's freeze into the afternoon
The summer is gone, the winter's near, all over far too soon

Where grasses whispered in the breeze of warm embracing wind
The flowers lose their beauty, as there petals soon rescind
All manner of what we noticed, as the year moved on somehow
Vanish, in what seems like just a second or two from now

We wait, eternal optimists, for spring to follow on
When everything will brighten, Dark grey will be gone
Until the very essence and the beauty does return,
We sit around the fireside, and watch the embers burn.

Be quick, we ask the basking sun, to bless the ground with heat
The spring to open up the land, the beauty to repeat
For blue and light to open up the land and earth again
For grey to hide a little while, and beauty to remain.
