The Gilded Leaves of Autumn Sigh

When fleeting storm said goodbye The darkened sky detected a lie Besting clouds her thoughts host Drenching doubts that block riposte. As the cobalt sky and ocean meet On the sapphire arc revelers greet The changing season's vibrant theme In golden attire of autumn's dream. The sound of wind whirls in trees Musical tones of rustling leaves And the falling foliage flies with ease Orange hues in autumn's breeze. As the sepia tones enchant her eye The gilded leaves of autumn sigh On buoyant horizon drifting high Where crimson vistas touch the sky. Vivid vibes spell a brand new start As blazing colors awaken her heart And amber passions begin to reveal Tinges of magenta in love's appeal.

Hello Vijay Pandit, the only good thing about autumn is the leaves change color. We enjoy this scene for as long as it last. But then the leaves begin to fall, then we have the chore to rake them up. Bag the leaves and bring to the dump. Have a nice day my friend.
