That time when a naked soul Aches in the cold of the late fall For all the orange yellow and red Snatched from the trees Raked in piles Scorched on the ground dead
When dragging days of solid grey Are drenched in gusts of wind and rain Another reason to complain About life that slips in vain When all far-out funky thoughts Have fled in flocks Away from North To some place South Nice and warm Deserting winter marathon
Who to blame When mind goes borderline insane All wrapped in what has never worked With chains of patterns and restraints Set to recycle same old same
Unless you shake away the past Hit the reset And give yourself a chance To break away and Go looking for your path

About this poem:
Late fall is not easy on us unless we take time to appreciate the good and also to reflect on our life
Thanks for stopping by AP! Had my doubts before posting since the misery of the late fall may be contagious kind of like COVID. Would you mind sharing your friend’s writings?
