I Shall Not Fall

Within my depths ancient murmurs arise.
As had Phoenix, I had burned to ashes.
Yet I rise to strew the day with surprise
as I flourish in brilliantine flashes.

I am boisterous and blatantly loud
in voice and also in buff appearance. 
Gregarious and bold, merging from cloud,
I fold my wings in show of forbearance.

My wings beat chill that draws color to fore,
irrefutably majestic and grand.
My winds blow promise not seen heretofore
as I spread my majesty o'er the land.

I am applauded as glorious Fall
but I shall not - I shall rise above all!

Valsa George November 27, 2023 at 1:16 AM Your comparison of Fall to the phoenix bird seems so appropriate. You have indeed approached the yellowing and withering of trees not as a sign of decay, but as an indication of rebirth. Well done Linda! Linda Alice Fowler November 27, 2023 at 6:39 AM Thank you dear Valsa, a rebirth, celebration of earth's cycle of life. A beautiful season. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. :)
