November Bliss

PAD Challenge day 10: For today's prompt, write a nature poem.






To linger in the golden rains of autumn’s falling leaves
To steep in farewell’s fond refrains awash with memories
To wrestle with the afterglow of Glints of Paradise
As November puts on a show that takes us by surprise

To look a little longer where the grove is turning gray
To satisfy soul-hunger from nature’s dwindling buffet
To read between fence and skyline, the kind of poetry
That needs no words to dignify the Author’s mastery

To wear with kinder fervor time’s small dust-stitches of skin
And magnify the Server of each breath that we draw in
To tread upon the rustling hush of woodland’s winnowed song
With something like a lover’s blush beneath Autumn’s ‘so-long’
