Still Life Autumn
Yellowish leaves like gold flake necklaces fall;
Sunshine gleam like golden snakes on them crawl...!
The sky seems blue dominated rainbow,
Clouds, in gaudy garbs, play a fashion show...!
Each fading bloom bids bye to the other,
Mourning weather environs does smother...!
The fragrance of flora fills the smell buds,
The scent of healing herbs in the breeze floods...!
Sneezing of cool water streams gently splash,
Fins of anglerfish like rain lightning flash...!
Ripe figs, plums, and passion fruits shake their heads,
Nodding winter though they feel many threats...!
Weddings of blooms, leaves, and fruits mesmerize,
Though these seem strange for starving butterflies...!
Sun, moon, and stars stand still needing graces,
The universe and cosmos show faces...!
Midst brightness and darkness autumn moves on,
Forerunning Christ's coming like Baptist John...!
Splendors of autumn within I treasure,
Though some I have spelled, they're beyond measure...!
