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.
