Hibernation
Autumn has come,
And I walk to school in the rain,
And ride the bus, looking through blurry windows,
Admirring the colours of the season,
Red, yellow, and orange; summer’s final farewell
The people are silent on the bus,
And quiet on the streets,
Cold rain and wind has removed their expressions,
While their voices speak inward, to keep their minds from hibernation.
