Escaping from work loads and pressure
Gasping for some fresh air and beautiful melody
I listen to the gurgling of water
The whispering of wind
The rustling of leaves
The chirping of worms
And all these commotion and sound of nature
Are like the voice of God
Intimate and heartwarming, soothing and calming
Coming from heaven
Jumped up like a chair with tree legs.
I have enough exasperation.
And cheering for nothing.
That there’s all overhead.
And also dropping down like floaty puffs.
Currently, I’m within flat plane.
Wormy, and breathless.
Left behind jokes and deathly tree trunks.
The said it was instant as a paper printed with a single letter.
Typed out whirling sounds.
Rustling.
Amber, crimson, golden light,
A painter's dream, a wondrous sight.
The autumn wind, a whispered song,
Where rustling leaves all dance along.
The Equinox, a fleeting spell,
Its blessings cast, its stories tell.
In fleeting hues, the trees bestow,
A fleeting fire before the snow.
The branches shed their summer’s past,
And weave a quilt so rich, so vast.
A tapestry upon the ground,
Where nature’s colors bloom unbound.
Soft footsteps crunch the season’s gift,
As children leap and laughter lifts.
They chase the breeze in wild delight,
While leaves swirl golden in their flight.
A symphony of rustling sound,
A fleeting beauty, so profound.
Each leaf a note, a whispered cheer,
That marks the passing of the year.
The trees may bare their souls to frost,
Yet never is their splendor lost.
For in this blaze, so brief yet bright,
Lives Autumn’s grace, its last respite.
And when the morning sky turns gray,
The leaves remain where once they lay.
A golden sea in slumber deep,
Where autumn’s dreams drift off to sleep.
Rustling, blowing, whooshing
Like the moments before twilight,
Following shadows home, stolen
Lights, glistening across the night,
Hesitant as the forest’s calm,
Still blessings, wafting through dawn,
Rising like dew graced petals,
Reflecting the darkness, the loss
Of a moment before morning warms,
Sunlight reaching through the limbs,
Oaks and maples, painted graceful,
Listening to the brilliance of fiery golds,
The satin joy of burgundy and rust,
Fires glowing on the endless branches
Trees providing what our hearts surely need,
The aching embrace of crisp, autumn leaves!
August bleeds thoughts of harvest, picking crops
shortly, corn husks, rustling leaves in earth tones
crimson shadows, bustling golden meadows
indigo skies blessed with gushing raindrops
almost tears, flowing, gentlest cries of grace
summer wars with fall in twilight treetops
blessings edge the soul, kindling light and hope
walking roads of joy where doubt never stops
searching for God’s voice as the soft wind moans
bustling golden meadows, crimson shadows
comforting the soul with mourning dewdrops
fallen leaves peppers
barricading passages
in across the grounds
leaves spiral pin wheel fly round
children's delight performance

sleepless autumn night
cool black velvet sheets slide off~
whip-poor-wills mock chirps

rustling leaves murmur

Rustling, brittle leaves
Blown by the divinely wind
The essence of life.

In an aura and its quintessence,
Wakeful sunrise in periwinkle skies.
Fresh intoxicating air
Fly above in graceful pace.
Velvet feel of delicate rose petals,
Daffodils, scarlet marigolds,
And waves of tiny blossoms;
Sweet breathed buds have unfurled,
Kiss of sweet nectar,
Spring flowers bloom.
Birch and aspen nesting birds
Safely perch, amidst rustling leaves.
Butterflies flit, bumblebees
Emerging from nestled rest
Amid pungent garden.
Tiny wings dance
To whisper of gentle breeze.

gaunt green gnawed
gullible groove gored
gutsy grills gulped
glitched gems gulled
graced gifts globbed
gripping glows' gourd
callous clouds cussed
cremating clips cupped
crumbling cruise clubbed
nosy nature nimble
nudging nectar's nipple
nasty nerd nestled
wanky wind wields
rhythm rustling riffs

Note: Of gaunt green. Inspired by a picture of nature I took earlier today.
like saucy sun
eerie east puns
syllabic surges scribbled
taunted tips tremble
wielded wind whooshes
bearing bounty breaches
bored trees blazed
airy torrent's trace
crumbling crest crazed
rustling rays ripped
into callous confetti
boulevards' silhouettes bit
moaning melodies mixed
punctured passion's piss.

Leaves rustling softly
over the graves of loved ones,
beckon us to life
leaves rustling
in the heights of
poplar trees
