Autumn !!

Here I come, says the Autumn !!
I wish I could warmly welcome,
for all the fall colors it brings,
but for the rain and cold that stings.

Nevertheless, this reminds me of the Autumn Song by Sarojini Naidu,

Like a joy on the heart of a sorrow,
The sunset hangs on a cloud;
A golden storm of glittering sheaves,
Of fair and frail and fluttering leaves,
The wild wind blows in a cloud.

Hark to a voice that is calling
To my heart in the voice of the wind:
My heart is weary and sad and alone,
For its dreams like the fluttering leaves have gone,
And why should I stay behind?

Wish I could write as good as her appreciating the fall season.
- Peace
