Purple mist
Veils the lonely forest
Shades of bronze
Scattered forlorn leaves
Whisper winter’s secret.
Glowing golden love
Taste the scent of crimson
The silence of trust
For all is laid bare
Whisper winter’s secret.
Amber Ocean
Dancing beads of forgiveness
Curtain lonely fields
As psalms of desire
Whisper winter’s secret

Hi Alan, I could see the Autumnal leaves in your November like they are outside my window. How they seem to prophesy the coming freeze of winter. Good job! and thanks for the comment.
