like a changing of the guards
the sumac signals from its bastion points alongside the road
ocular chromatic cues of amber and crimson
a layered dabbing of a painters brush on nature’s lush canvas
subtle signs of the coming artistic masterpiece
Earth long bathed in a deep solar sauna
weary to its core does it exhale deep breaths of freedom
cool sighs of relief in preparation for its grand metamorphosis in a cacophony of a windy orchestra
the fresh scents of change tickling our olfactory senses with each inhale
reminding us of the impermanence in all things
of the chameleon underneath our feet
bursts of vivid colours in the artist’s collage now dotting the entire landscape
a giant layered collage of autumnal sensations
Earth itself tossing around the fallen leaves in the breeze
like a curious and excited child enjoying the innocence of a playful moment
followed by cold rains that wash away the ashes and embers of a long summer
ushering in a hemispheric hibernation
