Hint of Change

When leaves in whispers say goodbye With a hint of autumn’s sun rise Once of vibrant life to mutate In combat with the chilling eve. Soon to waltz within heartless breath When leaves in whispers say goodbye From mighty mother trees shaking In fall’s perpetual cycle. No more gathering of morns dew Within the mist that spoils the view When leaves in whispers say goodbye Dressed in colours of red and gold. Another seasonal imprint Scurrying along woodland’s chase Driven by swirling artful winds When leaves in whispers say goodbye. © Harry J Horsman 2022

So interesting to see one unrhymed yet it is beautiful and perfectly acceptable not to rhyme them. I was very glad to see you too are a fatalism believer

I heard the whispers of your autumn's leaves and marveled in your "autumn's sun rise" relishing your "Hint of Change" welcoming its chilling breeze gasping at the "red and gold" Nature robe! What a gem of Autumn flair, Harry! You have meticulously painted an amazing landscape and rendered a so sweet romantic feel! An immense delight reading you! My deepest regards and blessings.
