Autumn.

 

Golden trees line the curving river

 A river we used to walk, hand in hand.

 We told each other secrets and kissed through falling leaves.

 Young,  we walked through miles along soft earthen paths.

 Now, just a yearly memory on the banks that haunt me.

 The musty odor of leaves perfumes the air with Fall.

 A lazy cloud lazily drifts from a burning heap

 like the old dreams that are gone as wisps of smoke.

 they were a sweet smell in my mind.

 Today, the path is empty, colors are dull, wind is cold.
