A Song For Autumn
Intoxicate me, Autumn, I implore
you! Fall upon me amber as in times
your splendor greeted me outside my door,
enthralling me, inspiring me with rhymes.
Annoint me, Autumn, with your rays of gold,
which linger from my summer days of mirth
until the chill of wintertime takes hold.
Pour forth your brilliant colors on the earth.
Bedazzle me and bathe me in your glow
from daybreak till your hues all disappear
into the gloaming when the sun sinks low.
I feel you coming, Fall. You’re nearly here.
September peeks around the corner! Dawn
of Fall comes splendidly and summer’s gone.
