Magical artistry in nature
as leaves turn into gold
Nature's metamorphosis'
colorful palette
of reds, orange,
and gold;
skillful manipulation of
brisk weather settling in.
In it's own way
always startling.
Intricate veins in each leaf
a soft shimmering gold
subtle folds, soft curves;
turning, dancing, inviting.
Leaves transforming sunlight
into soft tones of golden embroidery,
silk-like threads
of shimmering reflections
take my breath away;
as they metamorphose
into graceful dancers.
Bouncing moonlight shadows
through tree lined streets
at times dancing
along with
diamond like rain drops.
Breath-taking dance
of majestic, perfection.
Elegant patterns
envelope tree-lined streets
with graceful dance,
mocking me;
as if saying
"Dance the last dance for me"
Beautiful memories
of an Autumnal frost.
