Autumn's Goodbye
Upon amber aura autumn’s passions fly
In prairies, valleys, mountains up high
As golden, yellow, crimson winds sigh
Swirling, whirling, drifting merrily by,
Flaunting red tinges of sugar maple dye
On sepia hills where tangerine leaves vie
For lovers’ sights glued to purple sky
As shuddering barren trees utter a cry,
Carpeting wet forest-lands in foliage dry
Where motifs of multi-colored hues lie
Amid hoots of owls, yelps of foxes sly
As ospreys sing and squirrels nimbly pry,
When moonlit desires sparkle in your eye
Glancing a solitary star sneaking to spy
As your cheeks turn auburn, blush, and shy
Greeting love-vibes in autumn’s goodbye.
