Swaying With The Autumn Leaves

The blustery winds howl through the sky,

Rustling through the glistening auburn leaves,

Littering the ground like a kaleidoscopic carpet,

Crepitating with a subdued crackling cacophony

The room is awash with the shimmering moonlight,

As a zephyr silently seeps in through the wire gauze of the window,

Suffusing my lungs with the sweet smell of petrichor,

Emanating from the damp soil outside the door

A blanket of stars dazzle in the autumn twilight,

As an orchestra of crickets sing their tune,

Evoking an overarching sense of sanguinity,

The night makes way for dawn rather soon

I am awoken by the tintinnabulation of the drizzle,

Delicately clanging against the tin roof

Lurking behind the cumulonimbus clouds,

The sun is deceptively aloof

I wander through the emerald green meadows,

I sit beneath the large oak trees,

Observing a canopy of many-hued autumn leaves,

As they flutter and sway to the melody of the breeze
