Oranges whisper secrets to Yellows.
Reds fight to be heard.
Dying greens fade
as browns rustle impatiently forward.
Sneaky sun's rays ignite trees with celestial glow -
colors melding to form a new shade -
at once stagnant and
changing. Essence of season.
Trees cling to jewels, fighting
against
the playful wind - skillfully picking one
after another -
leaving some barren while others maintain glorious array.
Air charges with electric pulses of movement and emotion
as the glowing Western orb settles behind the last hill.
And so the leaves catch fire,
burn quickly,
and simmer into evening.
Scattered remnants of momentary wealth lay
discarded on the sagging ground,
deteriorating into spring.
