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.
