red leaves flaming in the cold
with purple gold and orange
trees of wonder in the wood
like sun going down
in sun drenched noon lost in light
smiling gently to herself
she is on the path of pinks
with their clove like scent
tanagers and scarlet birds
come to the midday calling
but she is off to somewhere
flowers in her hand
with charming cool elegance
blooms dazzle near falling leaves
pansies dahlias and mums
add to the color
cosmos and lilies blush bliss
sage and sedum, autumn fire
shine in the heyday of chill
as hued leaves go down
in the coolness of shadows
in the misty fountain spray
thrilling to summer's last steps
in midst of birdsong
in a park of pleasantness
so peaceful near the flowers
radiance rules the daytime
echoing through night
......
at long last the time has come
when beautiful lovers meet
the scent of deep purple blooms
calls to butterfly
on wings of gold black and blue
wafting irresistibly
to the vivid fragrant source
in days of honey
......
anthers of orange and gold
a large pink bloom soaks the sun
light pink here and dark pink there
with streaks of purple
fragrance fills the summertime
forever lived in one day
beauty sensed by the senses
never unnoticed
gold butterflies in noon fields
of sunflowers and daisies
greet black-eyed susan delight
yellow warblers sing
in the heart of hot summer
the song lives on forever
on the blooming paths of time
tales of summer love
the days are filled with colors
in all the possible hues
spring through winter, down the years
on land sea or sky
lives immersed in radiance
burnished dawn to ruby dusk
thrill to the vibrant frenzy
'til purple black night
red and orange peonies
in a lemon colored vase
catching the red sunset rays
evening bay window
all the day has come to this
when the night blooms are waking
vivid hues above, below
welcoming the dark
high-rises touch sunset skies
and are bathed in many hues
fast cars bright lights raucous noise
eclectic beauty
frowns and smiles people laughing
on the way to a new day
in the now vivid fashions
sophisticated
