Autumn Breeze

The day surprised me tiptoed in on warm autumn breezes that slipped in an out the leaved trees floating down like winged butterfly chains crunchy and wrinkled from the lack of rain sliding in on clouds without a hint of change; autumn rustled light upon the earthen forms with browning grass and fading blossoms torn and birds gathering in-flight prep migrating winter storms; along the garden edge, bulbs slept in their deepened beds and the dried and thirsting ground held spring's new bounty to be later found; summer gave up its burn as it slipped away outrunning sun and moon of longer to shorter days to rest immersed in cloud burst with winter fantasies reborn.
