October's Painted Leaves
Heaven’s landscape emerges
radiating the evening firmament;
splashing a colorful face.
A twilight atmosphere lingers
a fresh lull to the season.
Crisp fragrances enhanced
with dew;
cleanse arid land awaiting
a chilling dusk.
Hilltops lavished with evergreen
and spattered with oak;
adhere to October’s painted
leaves…
as autumn births.
Pumpkin orange with crimson
red lie lifeless on earth floor;
mounding in heaps of hue
in an elaborate display.
Lanterns with little feet
travel through somber stillness;
hoping for a treat of sweets.
Allhallows Eve embraces
October’s painted leaves…
with applause.
Hiding goblins, witches, and
headless horsemen in its wake.
