Autumn RAIN

Rain is falling now at 7 am in the morning
just when I was going to go out walking early.
That's fine, I would rather just blog than walk.
It's cooler today, quite chilly as summer ends.

Change is trying to come gradually, but it's
still a shock. The sudden coolness in the air,
leaves dancing off trees, and daylight disappearing.
When did it begin? Yesterday was steaming summer.

It's all right, part of the cycle called seasons.
Repeated year after year, even in the desert.
I have seen the autumn leaves all dressed
in their farewell colors waving "goodbye."
