Turning Sun's Touch

Turning sun's touch realign and tilt
Languid brooks scarce compete with hardy
The breeze of ease reposing and tardy
As debutants of summer seem to wilt

Forests draped in glorious orange dress
Bestows blessings upon the autumn bride
Fancy June too fickle for October pride
Her harvest of bounty demands to impress

Sunsets richer, night loon serenade
Moon more crisp, crickets chirp brisk
Romancing in red is worth the risk
As waterfalls of leaves cascade

In this palette of color Mother Earth grants
The year closes on a gift of wonder
Living blaze before cold ices under
These painted weeks of Picasso, of Rembrandt-
