Autumn Painting

Sparkling stars and a blood moon work overtime to brighten,

even colorize our evenings.

The drab overheated,

dried-out summer now focused on rekindling energy.

A life force and spiritual awakening flutters in early fall,

lifting us like withering petals

behind eyes into the sky.

Preparing us for winter,

offering assurance,

to enter next year with renewed hope.

Today we totter on parched grass,

an embarrassing crunch follows our footsteps.

Soon torrential rains may fill crevices

of a seasonal palette--

clogging drains with drops

of mixed hues consisting

of jade and auburn leaves--

swirling around with globules of burnished umber--

highlighted with antique gold.

The artist’s easel waits.

 We eagerly anticipate the unveiling.

This is a lovely painting of a cottage--hidden in a forest of intertwining trees--my photo doesn't do it justice.

Are the colors changing around you too?
