Golden Sunset Breeze

Saw one blazing red leaf on the shimmering Maple, On my way back from a refreshing stroll, One Red Leaf - indicated the stark truth, Fall is tiptoeing with her secret footsteps, Luminously veiled autumn not far! Spotted a flock of migrating Geese gliding by - Are they already departing? Where? Ravishing crimson Roses beaming On the bush besides the wooden fence, A few sad dried petals sprawl dejected at the bottom, Redbreast Robin in euphoria, still crooning full-throated, Fleecy warmth of air fleeting away, are birds aware? Truly intoxicated with the aroma of sunshine, Even for a moment, do not stop trilling at each other! Crispy, chilly, wind waltz with twirling leaves, I smell scintillating autumn fluttering and frolicking, Spiralling, swirling in the golden sunset breeze.
