Spring
summer
winter and
autumn of the
seasons i love most
lovely mellow autumn
in rich sensuous red gown
amber shawls, sienna shadows
she whispers not gentle but loudly
among dying leaves in last pas-de-deux
but oh such beauty in her paint palette
crimson, scarlet and black the berries
shine in wild hedgerows of England
horse chestnuts fall ‘neath the tree
carpets spread burnished gold
bright with sweet sunshine
brush strokes so warm
this heart drowns
in pure
awe.
