  Autumn Nights

fireflies glimmer happily, inspiring joy 
night breathes promises of a sweet melody
peaceful and soothing, coloring dreams to enjoy
in hues of laughing lights, creativity

autumn beauty captures dusk, endless fires
of painted leaves, brilliant whispers of music
rustling through the forest on gentle desires
lingering in the heart, prayers for the soul

love mistakes night opening perfect quiet 
upon the peaks of mountains who haunt dreams
with amazing hopes kindled so hearts never diet
but fall swiftly and softly like rain, calming

dawn erases furious glories, harmony inciting 
along the waves of amber, glorious gold and mahogany
swells of color praising the creator for His writing
on the creation - world full of light, laughter and love
