Whispers of Autumn by Ada Rizzo

 














Whispers of Autumn

 

In the sweet embrace of dancing autumn, 

Light merges with dusk, 

A magical moment, a gentle sweetness, 

Where the day lets itself sigh. 

Colors ignite, warm and bright, 

Trees don dresses of gold and copper, 

Leaves crumple beneath soft footsteps, 

Like whispers of lovers, 

Each breath is a petal falling under a sky that seems to embrace clouds dyed in velvet red. 

A sip of warm tea, a page of poetry, 

Memories intertwine like leaves in the wind, 

And I lose myself in the time that flows gently, 

In this in-between season that wraps me in a magical enchantment.
