Vijay Pandit Poet Lay

Wooing Winter In Autumn's Song

Where gentle winds merrily blow
And twilight flaunts its orange glow
Swirling imprints amber arc spun
Bending beams-mauve of setting sun
Prairies sway in graying shadows
Wailing grief of browning meadows

While garden sighs of parched flowers
And ardor yawns in rain showers
Pine trees breeze lilting verdant hills
Enchanting hearts in wintry thrills
As snowflakes vie passions of night
And romance glimmers in moonlight

Frigid air dwells in dreams of dawn
Yet, blush of morn smiles on and on
Greeting bright day’s golden appeal
While sunrise sparks its frosty zeal
Wooing winter in autumn's song
Glinting days short, as nights prolong
