Autumn Magic

The day chilled rainy and gray
 allowed the wind to sweep and sway
each and every tree that held tight its leaves
 now released them to the slightest breeze.
Driving down the blackened road eroding
 macadam faded into a multitude of leaves exploding,
the palette of beige colors warmly frayed
 into a mix of shaded cool arrays.
Indescribable in the autumn beauty
 the hues slipped down in skeleton nudity
of floating pale greens and burnt orange umbers
 with mustard yellows and crimson passioned wonders.
The brilliant glow of a yellow pineapple sunned pear
 could not match the creamed corn eggnog glare
where profusive light streamed in pink merlot blush 
 as colored magic sketched the last of autumn's brush.
