Exquisite Autumn

Amber grasses, shoulder-high, glowing at sunrise.
Warm air above; hawks soaring. Frost-bitten stream beds below.
Snow-covered peaks, blushing pink with the new sun's rays.
Scarlet sumac, brilliant among the muted gold ground cover; speckles of blue flowers.
Creeks, water-free, brimming with golden leaves.
Rustling overhead, rustling under foot.
Clouds nestled down low; craggy flatirons poking through.
Full moon easing the darkness of the day's end.
