A new day a new haiku

Hungry earthworms wait For the autumn feast to fall In loamy dirtness
Soaring in dark skies Murmur as the starling flies Hear my distant cries
The light has faded The leaves give up their glory To find a new life
Yellowing birch seeds Tumble back down to the ground Leaving me behind
As we fade away From green to golden to grey The rest hibernate
Leaves from autumn trees Drift down to the sun baked ground The days simply fly
Soaring golden leaves Falling from the olden trees Calling the cold breeze
Kestrel horizon Bleak shadows, empty inside I am not enough
Dry ice and low sun Stir these swirling leaves to make The perfect autumn
Autumn in gold leaf Will I ever shine so bright? Set my boat alight
A sunny surprise Warmer autumn days arise Shining in my eyes
As we wind our way Through ever changing seasons Years are made of days
