As Autumn Ends

Late autumn glides with buoyant ease Where songbirds twit a mellow note; A hymn for cycle’s last reprise That graces rippled leaves afloat: November whorls its amber lace Endowing quiet as blooms cloak The lanes the fields… in night’s embrace When trails of garlands limp evoke Crisp season’s end… nipped trees droop low As moonshine blesses each day’s reign, Immersed in gray ...where all things flow While comfort soothes my breath, my gain. I shall but hold Fall’s velvet wrap Before the jaws of frost entrap. Super Sonnet Premium Contest For John Hamilton Re-post: 12/14/2018 Originally Written 7/23/2018

I just fell in love with this poem and now I don't know what to do with myself. I'll just take a 'love pause', breathe it in and out so my spirit and I may immerse-share this 'now.' I leave you with Wow. CayCay
