Autumn

Autumn is every where
Beside the lake
Beneath the trees
And it’s not fake

Autumn is marking
That Summer is over
And Winter is walking
Near the people

The streets are lava
And leaves like lava
And the blood red moon
In the Autumn leaves

The Autumn wind blows
And it makes us cold
We can’t hold
The breeze of cold

The fall arrives
And the birds fly
Stops work
But bees make honey

Squirrels sleep
In their trees
Bears sleep
In their caves

The collected food for squirrels
Eaten food for bears
Help them to survive
In Autumn
No season lasts forever
And it will end
But Winter will come
But Sri Lankans have no Autumn to come.
