Autumn
January 3, 2022
O’ great Conductor
Of the cricket’s chirp
The rodent’s chitter
And the carrier of sound.
Lift your arms in tandem to nature’s symphony
And bestow upon me your teachings.
Your force commands,
O great Conductor,
So much so that the leaves of the great oaks
Tremble in your presence.
They fall into the whistle of the wind
And then collect to blanket the curling roots.
Your arms sway
In the melody of the breeze
And strum your lyre
In harmony with your symphony.
I exist here in your encompassing musicality
As you count in the coming of Winter.

@Bumble_Bee Autumn is my favorite! And I think either this one or Winter was my favorite to write, but I think this first stanza in particular has to be my favorite. (Have you figured out the hidden meaning yet? :D)

This is great!! I love how you started it! But I must ask, what's your favorite season? Your words are so lovely, I'll be honest, I don't have a guess about which season you like the most. The way your words flow is amazing. Love it!! <33
