Beautiful Fall

Blazing summer sun shows its mellowed face when Each dawn it rises with crimson aura of the autumn Across the sky painted with ribbons of astral colors. Upturned tips of gleaming grass on verdant meadow Traps the hues of autumn’s halo in the heart of dew, Iridescent with the ambient glow of nature’s splendor Flushing the pathway for the fall to arrive with fervor, Ushering northern zephyr to ripple through the trees Luring leaves to burst in color before they fall to freeze. From the garden gleaming under crystalline azure sky Aroma of the autumn floats on the wings of butterflies. Limpid tapestry of ecstasy they weave for me in the air, Lingering beauty of the fall I take to the barren winter. September 10, 2018
