A babbling brook wanders
carelessly thru a given path
ankle high of a mossy bank
An early dawn draws
light upon auburn leaves
of a fiery maple tree
The crackling sound of footfalls
move atop a tangerine carpet
And the summer of just~ fades
with an lasting sunset
A backdrop of magenta brushes
across a silver sprinkled skylight
An awakening of a new fall
has fell upon us once again
and now she will slumber
As twilight approaches
beneath an applauding star*
