As summer quickly comes to a close 
Autumn boldly enters the scene    
The brisk dawns and vibrant colors  
Make Central Park utterly serene   

I go to the Park to escape the chaos  
That lives outside my door and in my head  
Comforted by the changing of the leaves  
Once green now yellow, orange, and red 

Stepping into the crisp, colder air 
Felt uncomfortable at the start  
But soon my lungs happily breathe in this newness 
Healing both for my mind and heavy heart
