Poem Title:
Poem
Nature’s palette of golden paints overturns, autumn's spectrum spills on color-burst landscape. As the heat of the summer air dissipates away The sapphire shine suffuses the crystalline sky Crisp breeze ripples on the gilded thicket canopy The rustling leaves perform the last fiery dance As the summer birds leave the nests and fly away Pearls of dew on the meadow craft silver crown At crimson dawn it sparkles in ethereal splendor Wait to freeze when the northern winds will blow. Sitting alone by the window open on sprawling lawn, departing music of the wilted leaves I hear as they fall, the glare of the scorching summer sun has melted, the sign of autumn’s chromatic footfall I see beguiled. The smoky dust screen has blown away to far horizon, the flotilla of cotton cloud sails in the depth of azure. Bowed down slender blades of cinnamon grass sway in crisp air on the lap of the meadow turning fawn. Lining the sun-burnt cinnabar garden path paved anew, the dry trunks of the sepia trees stand on fallow ground. The setting sun ignites inferno in the seamless satin sky, makes surreal collage of vermillion ember blazing bright. In lilac sunset my heart is drenched by the twilight drizzle, soaking its glow I’ll greet the stars in pellucid autumn night. For my freezing times in the gloom of the winter I’ll hold the warmth of the touch of autumn’s remnant afterglow.
