Autumn has come

By Kaya Bustos (BSB, 9 years old)

Leaves leaving our tree

Autumn apples in agony

Once rising roses will rise no more

And silent swans who once dove delicately hide in the hood of snow

Our sliding silver streams stay still for now

Autumn is not forever but for now we must endure
