Vigilance In Changing Times

 summer coolly leaves
trees burn bright red and orange
while we weren't watching

~

 summer slips away

autumn arrives UN-noticed
picking red apples

~

stressed from life's hardships
leaves fall from dying oak trees
will anyone care

~

acorns will be scarce
squirrels scurry for their share
winter will be harsh
