AUTUMN SPLENDOUR

(for Milady's)









Wise trees ~ rooted in darkbrown soil ~

surrender:

shed fluttering leaves like tired birds

when on the green moss of the bark

Nature makes her secret mark

which triggers Autumn's rustic laughter





At dusk the hills and velvety skies

boast April's glowing garments:

scarlet, bronze and crimson flames

play chestnut, amber, golden games

with quiet, subdued cries





Come, Milady  ~  Marvelous May:

rise to the twittering Departure!

lingering fragrances drift away

upon the misty morning splendour

into the rustling rustling Day ...

Autumn is so beautiful where you live...your description is like a dream. Where I live, the time for turning leaves is six months away, but just for a moment, I felt I was surrounded by the season's brilliant colors.
