October Sun

Ascending above sanctum of horizon, a dawn inflames the effulgent rays, Enlightening daybreak as embers of light set the scarlet morning ablaze Projecting golden beams on hushed venues, in beatific style, not seen in a while, Glittering on grass in vivid dewdrops, glinting ornamental autumnal smile. Riding the path of shortened days, marigold passions eloquently evoke Enchanting colors of resplendent meadows--sensuous vibes tenderly stoke When traversing upon a vibrant blue-arc, solar-noon invokes seasons warm Where cumulus clouds stroll the meridian, amid nary a sign of rainy storm. Seeking affinity of ruby dusk, a spectrum inscribes on gilded evening skies Iridescent emotions in colors of romance, pleasing desires of amorous eyes As falling leaves waltz, in leisurely dance, attuned to song of sunset breeze Descending slowly with vanishing sun, in forlorn shudders of barren trees.
