Autumn's Still-Life

Waltz with me at autumn's end where leaves of brown and red adrift ~ grandiose at the kiss of sunlight as they return to sullen ground. Sing with me a sweet symphony in unison with the falls cascading~ as leaves afloat cease awhile tickling our feet immersed therein. Open your lips and taste the rain as it drizzles from the crimson sky; Whilst rainbow arcs a delicate smile a petrichor fills our senses with sublime savoury scents ~ for me and for you.
