Sunsets Ombre

As the leaves slowly change color

And the skies grow darker

As dawn turns to dusk

Quicker than the sea can change its tides

The mix of orange and reds

Along with the solid green of firs

The colors make a bright blanket

On the floor of the forests trails

Spreading like a solid wildfire

Yellows, reds, and oranges

Ombréd leaves soaking the land

In a natural hue of the cool weather

Pumpkin patches shimmer

With the bright vibrant colors

Of a crisp autumn morning

A thin mist falls over the hills

Masking the eye of falling apples

Red, round, and plump

They sit on their branches

Waiting to be plucked

By the new years' toddlers

As they make familiar memories

And share in a tradition

They will pass on throughout the years
