Herfs

Skielik besef ek herfs is hier

Aan die bymekaarmaak van die mier

Vir die winter bymekaargemaak

Voordat ek die winter smaak

 

Die blare van die boom verkleur

‘n vallende blaar wat die stilte versteur

Sonder sukses het ek probeer

Maar die blaar groei nie weer

 

Die blom het sy skoonheid verloor

Van sy skoonheid is daar geen spoor

Verrumpelde blare vou hom toe

Sy koppie buig vorentoe

 

Met oë agter glas verseël

Is my jeug van my gesteel

Met die kraak van ‘n skanier

Besef ek my winter is hier
