Gems of Fall

Around a regal emerald pond, 
           a crystal necklace lies.
     As if by autumn’s magic wand,
        just falling from the skies-
      gold leaves this jewelry plies.

        Brisk dawning of quartz mist,
        blooms skies of sapphire blue.
   Landscapes glazed by morning’s kiss,   
        brush precious still-life views;
     diamonds formed in morning dew.

      Black velvet drapes a silver orb,
        worn royally, above the trees.
      A harvest stone the eyes absorb,
    then weaken even stubborn knees;
        fall riches find a soul at ease
