Burnt Orange at Autumn
Burnt orange leaves
Burnt orange skies
Skies streaked with fire
Skies that shimmer dusk
Dusk shadows falling
Dusk winds whisper
Whisper through branches
Whisper over fields
Fields wearing embers
Fields aglow with light
Light dancing softly
Light catching gold
Gold in the treetops
Gold by the riverside
Riverside mirrors the trees
Riverside mirrors the sky
Sky deepening boldly
Sky gathering chill
Chill in the morning
Chill in the breath
Breath held in wonder
Breath scented with spice
Spice in the kitchens
Spice in the air
Air full of promise
Air full of change
Change painted everywhere
Change in every glance
Glance at the maples
Glance at the oaks
Oaks holding color
Oaks set aflame
Aflame with burnt orange
Aflame with autumn’s song
Song of the season
Song in the leaves
Song in the leaves
Burnt orange leaves
