Herbstgedichte (11. Klasse)

A rough wind is blowing.

I´m looking up to the sky.

The leaves, they are falling,

and clouds are passing by.

 

I remember the summer,

when the sun was shining all day,

but now it is autumn

and the sky, it is grey.

 

M.S.

 


When all the birds have gone away

the days are getting shorter,

the leaves are falling, the sky is grey

the sun shines coldly on autumn day

the fields are drowned in water.

 In Between

 

Summer leaves

As autumn starts

The golden leaves

Fall into our hearts

 

Forest walk

Without a word

Silent talk

A singing bird

 

Dazzling lightning

Rolling thunders

Nature fighting

Storm shows wonders

 

Hazes creeping

Bushes hinder

Branches weeping

Wind brings winter

        Rain

                   knocks

at

                                the

        window

 

flying out of it would mean

          to smell the dreamy atmosphere

                               of wet picturesqueness,

                   comparable to warm grass running

                                         between the toes.

 

But I´m resting here

            in a melancholic feeling of womby warmth

                      mixed with the coldness of human being,

            I got used to.

 

A squirrel is collecting food –

           accepting its role in the play

                       of this neverending, self-twisting circle. –

I hope it is allowed to collect some colours, too.

           Colours for the white darkness of winter,

                       it and I are waiting for –

                                   in happy autumn daze.

 

The cynical comments of someone at the next table

            remind me

                       I´m still sitting here in the chestnut tree café

                            where I was pulled inside

 

                                        out.
