Shimmering light as seasons change,
pass through the start of the new day.
Creativity swirls, thoughts rearrange,
welcome nature's allure on display.
Delve deep my lady of autumn touch,
cast upon me pallet of colors intense.
Teach me to express words and such,
fill and satisfy each and every sense.
Persimmon amongst crimson and taupe,
uncover the flesh of the mighty oak tree.
My bared soul thrives onward with hope,
through the pane let sun shine on me.
.
Preamble of winter, winds from north,
spiral inward within visions surreal.
Tinge of ancient autumn brought forth.
contemplate September's beauty, feel.
