Autumn’s Passage
Leaves painted in sunset hues reach for sky
Skeletal trees so bare and so naked
As leaves fall, pool like earth’s blood on wind’s sigh
Turns green grounds to a bed that’s gold-plated
Ready for winter to lie down and rest
As coming freezing chills sips its gaiety
Autumn still remains piled up and dressed
Displays her own unique scarlet beauty
She lulls the trees to sleep, to wait for spring
Whispers calming song, earth’s wind sings along
Dragging ever nearer winter’s cold sting
Holds on to it’s red crown that won’t last long
All leaves fall in the end to make compost
As white frosts replace rust, crimson combos.

My favorite time of year. You two care for it well. I enjoy what you say about the trees. Yes, they’re colorful; but they’re also becoming “skeletal” and readying “for winter to lie down and rest.” Now I want autumn. Now.
Thank you!

Okay, you can have autumn if I can have summer 🙂 Thank you for your kind comment. Autumn is very beautiful where I live though it’s usually also very cold.
