Indian Summer
A bright pale sun;
Shines through bare trees;
A sudden gust of wind;
Disturbs the rest of fallen leaves;
It picks them up;
And swirls them around;
Before they come to rest again;
Such a beautiful day;
Unusually warm for late November;
I soak it all in;
Knowing that this won't last;
As tomorrow brings;
The winter's first snow.
