Falling for Autumn

Daylight recedes and night lingers longer,

A lazy sun lowers her arc in the sky,

And summer relents on her brutal endeavors,

Yields to the softness of crisp autumn dew.

 

Earth tones of red and gold burst with a frenzy

Flooding the eye with bountiful treat.

The fresh chill of morning makes night covers snuggle

And daybreak awakens a bright orange hue.

 

Pity to those denied your sweet treasure,

Who never bear witness to your vibrant show,

Charting your change with chameleon candor,

Rushing the senses with visual bliss.

 

Signals of change as a new dawn announces

The turn of the term,

The passage of time.

I pray that in Heaven there still will be seasons

So all may find favor

In sweet autumn’s kiss.
