September Falls

Silver-lined clumps of cloud fleet floats away End-summer splendor shines in ashen sky Pairs of joyful birds bathe in the blue bay The fall’s footsteps trace hued track on the sly Ember meadow wears crown of diamond dew Mesmeric dawn gleams finesse of dream glow Blazing garden path gets paved with gold new Empty tree boughs shed bronze leaves rustling slow Relined spent sun in satin sky sets fire Falling night sprouts sapphire stars shining bright Amazed, I roam with mind soaring higher Long to absorb the moondust with delight Lilting crisp air spreads out ripples of cheer Songful my heart hasn’t found yours so much near
