Brilliant colors of the sunset
melt
into the foliage of
dying
trees. Yellow, orange, red, purple,
fade
into drab browns,
into different shades of gloom.
Coffee-ground leaves
sink
into the damp earth below.
Winter approaches. Feel it through the
chill of the air as it
bites faces, nips one’s ears. Feel it through the
somber fog of rain.
But, Summer fights still. Feel it through the
gentle warmth peaking from behind clouds
in late afternoons.
Watch.
The leaves preserve colors of
a melting Summer
sunset.
