Autumn Winds

Autumn Winds

by Bud Lemire on Nov 14, 2005

Late in the Autumn, fierce are the winds

Soon is the time, where Winter begins

Leaves from the street, blow everywhere

While clouds get darker, high in the air

Strong are the winds, as they blow around

Almost lifting me, a little off the ground

Can't go against it, too much force

It's understandable, considering the source

Branches fall from an old tree

But none of them fall on me

Garbage cans are laying in many places

In fields alleys, and other open spaces

Against my window, the wind howls so much

Shaking and rattling, and carrying on such

I'm so happy I weigh as much as I do

If I weighed too little, I'd be blown away too
