The leaves on the trees turn gold from green
To fiery shades–orange, red and in-between
High above
Heavenly love
Reflects in clouds floating by
Nebulous delight
Across the water-blue sky
The leaves on the trees shiver in the breeze
Flutter to the ground
Rustling around with a crackling sound
Autumn has arrived, once again, in style
As the technicolor leaves
Leave the trees
And fall
All around
In all their glory
To the ground
