Hint of Change

When leaves in whispers say goodbye
With a hint of autumn’s sun rise
Once of vibrant life to mutate
In combat with the chilling eve.

Soon to waltz within heartless breath
When leaves in whispers say goodbye
From mighty mother trees shaking
In fall’s perpetual cycle. 

No more gathering of morns dew
Within the mist that spoils the view
When leaves in whispers say goodbye
Dressed in colours of red and gold.

Another seasonal imprint
Scurrying along woodland’s chase
Driven by swirling artful winds
When leaves in whispers say goodbye.

So interesting to see one unrhymed yet it is beautiful and perfectly acceptable not to rhyme them. I was very glad to see you too are a fatalism believer

I heard the whispers of your autumn's leaves and marveled in your "autumn's sun rise" relishing your "Hint of Change" welcoming its chilling breeze gasping at the "red and gold" Nature robe! What a gem of Autumn flair, Harry! You have meticulously painted an amazing landscape and rendered a so sweet romantic feel! An immense delight reading you! My deepest regards and blessings.
