Earlier the sun sinks below the horizon leaving its soft glow
of orange-whipped clouds dotting the beautiful expanse of blue.
Earlier deep black of sky shines bright with brilliant stars
winking their peaceful goodnights as north winds enter on cue.

Barren-armed elms, swaying in the breeze, tuck close their limbs
and branches of the mighty oak curl brittle their leaves
before unattaching in gentle dive to ground in stately mounds;
preparing for next year's new garment of green-budded sleeves.

Scurrying to and fro are the busy, bushy-tailed squirrels
comically frantic in their search for feasts of walnut and acorn.
Geese form their magnificent Vees in familiar flocking to warmth
as the gentle dove builds furred nesting in the dew-licked chill of morn.

A quietness lies o'er the browning meadow like a comfortable quilt,
preparing for long slumber as the first flurry of snowflakes fall.
Resting in peaceful interlude are the waters gently streaming
below fine sheen of icy shield, patient for its warming call.

Music, tonal clear & pure,
Caresses the harshest of curves.

You have painted the beauty of the season with a talent that makes it sparkle with its own magic. I loved the wonderful vision of this poem. Very well done.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
