The sun sets low the sky aglow

A symphony of colors a show

The leaves once green now dressed in gold

A dance with the wind they're growing old

Autumn leaves gently falling

A tale of change a story tall

Autumn leaves in the breeze sway

A whisper of time a memory's day

The trees stand tall their branches bare

A crown of fire a sight so rare

The leaves descend a golden rain

A final bow before the frost's reign

Autumn leaves in hues of red

A canvas of life our hearts fed

Autumn leaves with every gust

A reminder of life's swift trust

As the world turns and seasons shift

The leaves tell us what it means to lift

In their descent a cycle's start

A promise of spring a new heart

The ground now quilted with leaves so fine

A carpet of memories a sign

Of life's fleeting beauty a silent plea

To cherish the moment to be free

Autumn leaves a sight to behold

A part of us growing cold

Autumn leaves a final flight

A chapter ending a new one's light

As the last leaf falls a new year's start

Autumn leaves a love that's from the heart
