Autumn
When Nature discards its cloak,
the cool dappled green of summer,
And unveils,
for the briefest moment,
the fiery exuberance that is its true self.
In brilliant hues, blazing,
revealing the incandescent beauty
that burns inside.
And then, waits
for winter’s slumber.

This is beautiful, picture & words. A nice change to see an ode to Autumn with no Autumn leaves.

Beautiful — I love how the photo’s texture almost suggests frost or the patterning of snowflakes too, a foreshadowing of winter.
