Autumnal

Autumnal  9-26-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumnal 

Autumn spreads autumnal wings
Between sun and celestial
And soars into hues of dusky blue vaults,
When leaves drip in shades of ochre crimson,
Gliding through boughs on pinions
Of splendor, robed in aubergine,
Leaving marigold feathers to flutter on fields 
Like the scent of umber down.

Autumnal guardian fans out majestic plumes,
Steward of golden magenta glory
Drifts on a soft plumage of harvest serenades
When golden love notes sail above grandeur -
Quiver as summer dances into slumber
On amber brewed scarlet currents -
Wings that never weary trail orange tides 
Into harbingers of violet vernal vitality.  

~Autumn spreads autumnal wings~
