Departing Autumn

As the flotilla of climbing clouds calmly drifts in the sky  
The beguiled birds bathe in the glimmer of the blue bay 
While autumn departs with crystal ambiance on the sly.
 
The transparent edge of halcyon horizon bids good bye 
Splits the spreading sunbeam in spectrum of hued ray 
As the flotilla of climbing clouds calmly drifts in the sky.  

The sparkling shades of color spill from its bucket of dye 
As the bowed down slender blades of fawn grass sway
While autumn departs with crystal ambiance on the sly.
 
The meadow sprawls for the crown of topaz dew to lie
On its cranium as the touch of chilled wind turns it gray 
As the flotilla of climbing clouds calmly drifts in the sky.  

Along the cinnabar pathway of the garden getting dry   
The rustling golden leaves from the sepia trees stray
While autumn departs with crystal ambiance on the sly.

In the glow of crimson sunset one feels the spirit rise high
Having received from God the gift of another golden day
As the flotilla of climbing clouds calmly drifts in the sky  
While autumn departs with crystal ambiance on the sly.
