Autumn --

A peaceful hush echoes as
Laughter of summer fades; deafening rush calms.
Genius of autumn dauntlessly cascades.
Serenity.

Autumn --

The light show begins ...
Utopian enrapture,
Spectacular display of nature's brilliance.
Breathtaking.

Leisurely, Earth paints her canvas
From splendid palette of
Golden, scarlet and pumpkin hues.
Vibrant.

Autumn --

The wind briskly whispers thru the trees,
Effacing memories of season past.
The whisper becomes a howl.
Demanding.

Blotches of color succumb;
Whirled away,
Falling softly to earth’s floor.
Scattered.

Autumn --

Daylight whimpers, rendering herself
Less visible; darkness prevails.
Golden goddess sabotaged.
Paling.

Warmth violated by crisp fingers of embryo blackness
Chiding her passion, her energy,
Till no longer can she linger.
Chilling.

Autumn --

Demise of perfumed petals as
Melodious rustling heralds the
Rebirth of nature's imagination.
Miraculous.
