Here We Are Again

Well now, here we are again.....
Fall....
Longer nights,
   shorter days,
      cooler air a relief from Summer's heat.

Cascading tree hair
In oranges, yellows, reds and browns,
A shower of color,
  when riding through the harvested fields,
Shorn by metal and sweat,
Leaving behind giant golden bales
   of winter fodder.

Hail, Nature's Sandman!
Ready the tired beds
  for the white quilts of Winter.
