Rockfowl

Colors seep between

Slowly fade to distant peaks

Earth and sky seem one.

Sun too far away

Spinning earth tilts toward winter

Icicles endure.

 

Most leaves torn away

Harvest of sharp autumn winds

Last colors linger.

Fallen leaves swept by

Rushing river filled with pink

Spilled from fading sky.

Emerging from clouds

Mountain wears colored mantle

Tinted by autumn.

Sun peers behind clouds

Towering mountains look small

Against sea of sky.

Web of bright branches

Catching bits of tattered blue

October harvest.

Sun trades place with moon

Lifts over slumbering peaks

Still lost in twilight.

Leaves echoed in sky

Summer days and autumn nights

Bring first blush of fall.
