autumn – Page 4 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

reddening leaves
boldly green just yesterday 
crisp, cold air arrives

An Autumn Flower

yet another walk
underneath the autumn clouds
soon birds quiet

this autumnal night
with silence under the stars
sleep's call beckons

moving through the day
sunlight flows upon my life 
embracing its grace

summer visages 
with autumn approaching 
soon the seasons change

descending dusk
night's darkness hiding beauty 
the birds go silent

cold autumnal rain 
sunlight returned joyfully 
memories at night

I was able to fit a walk in between rain and wind. Found this lovely bundle of resistance peeking through the shrubs.

Wind 
Pushing the rain 
Stripping trees 
Yet a few 
Tenacious leaves
Remain

with winter nearing 
trees are now barren of leaves 
under the cold rain

as I look closely 
during this pause in the rain
gemstones on the leaves
