Today the leaves fell
While the rain tumbled down
Uncaring, indiscriminately on all below
As the earth turned so did the weather
I watched from my window
As summer leisurely fled south
Down the old roads
Roads that it had so often traveled
And knew so well
Off to the north
A wind with the chill of winter
Told stories of the coming cold
And my window
Which always opened to the warmth of the sun
Remained closed giving me shelter
I remember
When I was much younger
That years lasted forever
And seasons fought the onslaught of change
These days
The years fly like an eagle
And are gone like a whisper in the wind
