Seasonal Change

Autumnal mist quivers over meadows
like a galleons sails billowing gently 
on calm seas of jade green and yellows,
steering it's ghostly mirages deftly,

hedgerows with wildlife masked in shadows
preparing for expected change of seasons
from amicable warm winds to soft arrows
discharged from cumulus depressions,

Celestial star low in Crimson sky blinding
light from cloudless horizon, exposed
hills in silhouette, oil painting of defining 
brush strokes created in webs disclosed,

birds desert undesirable climate changes
hibernation becomes natural performance 
elongated sleep, calm heartbeats arranges
thought patterns of survival from romance,

long warm days turn into long cold nights 
bracing crisp air scented with burning wood
from smoke filled chimneys such delights
burning embers changing mood to feel good.
