Like A Whisper In The Wind Poem by Cecil (cj) Krieger

Today the leaves fell
While the rain tumbled down
Uncaring, indiscriminately on all below

As the earth turned so did the weather

I watched from my window
As summer leisurely fled south
Down the old roads
Roads that it had so often traveled
And knew so well

Off to the north
A wind with the chill of winter
Told stories of the coming cold

And my window
Which always opened to the warmth of the sun
Remained closed giving me shelter

I remember
When I was much younger
That years lasted forever
And seasons fought the onslaught of change
These days
The years fly like an eagle
And are gone like a whisper in the wind
