Autumn's Hued Delight

The wisps of the climbing clouds float slowly away, brushing the azure of the end-summer’s ashen sky. The returning birds bathe in the glint of the blue bay, in the twilight gleam to the amber nests they all fly, as autumn arrives gathering crystal ambiance on way. The sunburst horizon’s transparent curtain drawn, splits the surreal sunbeam in the spectrum in slant way, sparkling hues spilled from sky’s palette paint the dawn. Bowed down slender blades of cinnamon grass sway in the crisp air on the lap of meadows turning fawn. They wear the crafted crown of the shining topaz dew, flickering with the flair of dawn’s chalcedony glow. Lining the sun-burnt cinnabar garden path paved anew, dry trunks of the sepia trees stand on the soil fallow, rustling golden leaves echo fall’s footfall passing through. The setting sun ignites inferno in the seamless satin sky, makes a surreal collage of vermillion ember blazing bright. Under its crimson radiance I wait with the spirit rising high to greet the stars sprouting in the pellucid autumn night, get suffused with the moondust aura of delight flashing by.
