Autumn Hues by Anna Rose Corell

There’s a hue

Of amber

And burnt orange

in the air,

Matching the ever-fading light

As the sun sneaks 

Into its hibernation.

My eyes water at the sight

Of its slipping away,

My heart stale 

In the passing of seasons,

Lost in the fading magic 

Of what once was.
