The magic of autumnal hues
Leaves us in awe and mesmerised
Cherished as God’s favourite muse
They’re adorned and often disguised
Burnt oranges, russets, and golds
Like flames adorn the fiery boughs
Tale of broken affair unfolds
As they forget their solemn vows
The breeze languidly passes by
Humming a melancholic song
As forlorn leaves flutter and fly
Gladly the breeze takes them along
Seeking a haven in solace
The leaves like shooting stars cascade
They settle down in a safe place
Ere in oblivion they fade
Jaunty Autumn whispers goodbye
It’s finally time to let go
Forlorn winter is drawing nigh
To veil the emotions in snow
A silent gloom shall now engulf
As harsh winter will reign o’er us
