Waiting in the Wings

Breeze rustling the sighing leaves,
bees dozily drone, legs heavy
with pollen. Once luscious borders
flag, flowers blown and fading
fast. Days melding dusk into
night. Dawn bringing jewel laden
meadows, spun with silken webs,
misty landscapes, brume filled valleys.
Crisp leaves, trees withdrawing chlorophyll,
choreographed, an orchestra, awaiting direction.
The conductor arrives, baton heralding
the majestic symphony of autumn.

Yup, The conductor may be a bit premature, but that's okay, he can get the orchestra tuned up for the real thing. Nice wordplay.
