The Battle of Autumn

The Battle of Autumn

A Poem by James Taylor

The Battle of Autumn

 

A sunbeam fighting a heavy cloud

Suffocating in silence

Drowned by the raindrops marching so loud

Death by implicit violence

 

Leaves once green are poisoned and wither

Burned by a freezing fire

Falling blood drops through the air slither

Submit to cold desire

 

Leaves are ruling the land of despair

Flower and sunlight parted

A gruesome game of truth and dare

Quest of the cold has started

 

Howl of the wind, see triumph is thine

Summer surrenders in throes

Desperate a leave clings on to its twine

The crystal of winter shows

 

Once again the warmth is defeated

In summer and winters clash

              Summer knowing years are repeated                       

Waits to arise for the ash
