Autumn has Arrived

Autumn steps in as summer’s bright shine glimmers and flee,
After the heat begins to abate, autumn arrives as nature’s gift.
The soft melody of the leaves and breeze fills me with glee.

The season comes to sweeten with a beautifully painted face.
From green to golden sheen, the trees slowly drift. 
The sky looks dank and blank with half shut azure eyes. 

Autumn’s heady but steady steps cause rustling in dry leaves. 
Squirrels explore and store nuts in their granaries for winter’s shift. 
Fearing chilly fate, birds migrate and silence builds beneath the eaves.

The sky looks dank and blank with half shut azure eyes. “ perfect” excellent use of colors too. You do any form in a way that gets readers hooked admiring your seamless word weaving! Best wishes!
