Singing the Songs of Autumn

Seems like
dark angels
    are going to 
reach us
   We have waited 
for years for this 
   "golden hour"
   Now turn 
the kaleidoscope
  See what you
must 
  See what you
must     
     Seems like 
someone is going 
     to appear
     Don't know his/her 
name
    but the apparition's 
       appearance
is certain 
      the air 
is redolent 
     with the 
scent of late 
             autumn 
  as we 
move in 
the autumn 
atmosphere 
    Then we 
hear a rustling 
of the leaves
     a dark 
angel approaches 
  bringing 
magic!
     and we taste 
the fruits of 
      forever 
  and burst into 
joyous song!

How beautifully you convey your message about the approach of the "dark angel" during the autumn season, Matthew. I have had similar feelings about fall and I like the way you lift our spirits by bursting "into joyous song." Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
