Fall Deep Into Autumn

Floating cerulean wisps of climbing cloud splash 
Azure paint on the end-summer burnt ashen sky.
Long awaited birds bathe in the sea of cobalt,
Lit by twilight glow to the amber nest they return. 

Dulcet autumn arrives with the pristine crystalline prism,
Enters across the threshold of the sun-soaked horizon,
Entrapping the surreal sunbeam split in spectrum of joy,
Pallet filled with hues spills charisma on the canvas of dawn.

Inclined on the ground the slender blades of fawn grass, 
Nestle on the gilded cradle of the auburn meadow
To wear the crafted crown of dazzling pearls of dulcet dew,
Overlapped by the flair of the rising sun’s golden glow.

Aligning the sun-splashed cinnabar trace of garden path,
Umber leaves of the sepia trees wait for a while to fall.
Tuned to their melodic rustle on the twisted tawny trail,
Under the crimson sky I hear the echo of autumn’s footfall, 
Making a symphony of color spectrum in the twilight hour,
Nascent night begins to fall with the drizzling spark of stars.
