Upon The Cusps Of Life Poem by Kaila George

The bitter wind blew its coldness around me
As I stood outside trying to catch a ray of light
The cold breeze rustled through the trees
As I watched the autumn leaves fall
The swirl of wind caught the leaves
As it drifted towards the sky
A heavenly touch of sunshine
Piercing the bright blue sky
Then as I stood to catch my breath
Upon the cusps of life
I closed my eyes and nodded my head
At the beauty of autumn days
Then flipping the scarf around my neck
Also the collar of my coat
I walked back inside to the warmth of home
To rest my burdens of the day to bed
