Lonely Autumn Poem by Danny Speicher

Slate grey sky over an overcast heart
A new day dawning somewhere in the world
Here, only wishing that new day would start
Instead clouds, above, unfold and unfurl

Oh, this long, sad, lonely Autumn season
Bringing a subdued sadness to the heart
Solemn expressions keep, far, the reason
The reason that this love was torn apart

Orange and golden hues line the city streets
They give hope in a time when hope is dead
Bringing fond memories when each leaf meets
The eyes of lovers, who often have said,

'Cold, sad Autumn, embracing your blank sky
Love will find not a lover such as I'
