October's Painted Leaves

Heaven’s landscape emerges radiating the evening firmament; splashing a colorful face. A twilight atmosphere lingers a fresh lull to the season. Crisp fragrances enhanced with dew; cleanse arid land awaiting a chilling dusk. Hilltops lavished with evergreen and spattered with oak; adhere to October’s painted leaves… as autumn births. Pumpkin orange with crimson red lie lifeless on earth floor; mounding in heaps of hue in an elaborate display. Lanterns with little feet travel through somber stillness; hoping for a treat of sweets. Allhallows Eve embraces October’s painted leaves… with applause. Hiding goblins, witches, and headless horsemen in its wake. Copyright © 2007 By Caryl S. Muzzey
