Winds of Change

Winds change
With the drop of an acorn
The scent of nostalgia
Ripped his mind
Summer love was gone
The laughter would never come again
Life goes on and on
And change
Is pervasive
Like the swirling leaves
Caught in the vortex
Of autumn winds
Churning the mind and soul
The future lies ahead
The past is left behind
Life goes on and on
Like the seasons change with the wind
Summer’s laughter gives way
To autumn’s remorse
And surrender
To winter’s frozen end.
