Fall of the Summer

It is beauty that dies the cruelest
When the warmth of the golden sun sleeps
Causing autumn leaves to smile upward
While aging gracefully and quickly within the shadows
Splashing the skies with orange and yellow stars
Before descending to the ground--dry and brittle
Trampled by stargazers and the innocent,
A cruel but splendid celebration of the summer’s end.

Marcel

You have given me a whole new perspective on the fall of summer. Beautifully descriptive.

I liked the play on words of "fall of summer"!

Autumnal hugs,

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Oh yes...The thought of this does paint well upon your pallet, and yet...
Autumn is eternal.  
Nice write.

Wonderful images of Autumn...much enjoyed.
Hugs~Nancy

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.
