Silence, in this dismal hour

Dark clouds that speak of rain

As I soak up autumn's power

My head falls back again

Rumbles in the distance, far

I stare out at the leaves

Still silence hangs unmarred by any car

Enjoying natures touch through a soft breeze

Oh! What a day for dancing

Or sleeping on the grass

Under dark clouds my heart does sing

Watching the leaves as they turn brass

Fall is almost here my friends

And no one can deny

The soothing that this season sends

As another passes by
