I step out
into a world set in amber,
silent as the grave,
and still.
~
Not a single
gold-tinted leaf stirs.
No melodious calls
meet my ear.
~
Life takes respite
in a grand, golden moment,
while I watch
in awe, transfixed.
~
Softly,
a cool breeze kisses my cheek,
as Earth exhales
the scent of apples.
~
Slowly,
gold gives way to blue
and the world wakes
and I smile.
~
Autumn has arrived.

This one was inspired by my morning trek into the back yard for a look at the weather and such.
Sadly, I missed Mike Singleton-Mikey Dred's August Dollar Prompt. Fortunately, Mike created another one for September. Take a look, and add your own to the fun, (Thanks, Mike!):
