Rufous Hints of Autumn

By lupus tenebrae

The leaves lie still, their
now rufous edges had come
under the lukewarm spell of

the blue sky above,
refusing to quaver when
faced with its infinity.

    "refusing to quaver when faced with its infinity." - beautiful piece! You have really captured fall well with this one, I just returned from a drive up to New York state and this ties in perfectly with the pictures of the changing leaves still fresh in my mind. Well done, sir! Ciao, T/S Scholar
