A Harvest of Memories

 

 

 

The surrendered sighs of sunset

are yet murmuring among the stars

with fierce intentions of honoring light

as infinite brightness sways in the sky.  

 

The lingering leaves

fulfill their kaleidoscopic destinies

upon this gentle breeze of passing moments,

following a hazy path that beckons their forward flight,

swirled colors dancing in their wake.  

 

The wild wind is deep and determined

to invoke change upon this landscape -

silvered clouds caught within chaotic currents

sweep slowly across the horizon with mellow music,

obvious delight in their happy grasp upon the coming days.

 

I listen to soft, soulful serenades
as the sun descends into the distance. 
I wish I had wings to wind my way
        across this wondrous, willful world.        
 
Summer is behind us now, streaming colors
       upon these grand, glistening feathers,         
     leaving a languid sense of accomplishment;     
Autumn rarely sings or lingers long.

"Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze."

    I love it when a poem is more descriptive than the picture prompt. This poem is truly captivating as the originality keeps the reader spellbound.

    love,
