Autumn Equinox Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



The daylight softens, fading from the sky, 
As autumn's breath begins to cool the air. 
The golden leaves like whispered secrets lie, 
A burnished crown upon the forest's hair. 

The world tilts slowly, balanced in between 
The light and dark, a moment's fleeting grace. 
The sun, though faint, still bathes the earth in sheen, 
Before the night begins its steady chase. 

Now harvest moons rise high, the fields abound, 
As summer's fervour yields to slower days. 
The quiet calls of dusk, the twilight sound, 
Invite reflection in their softened haze. 

A season's turning, measured, calm, and still,
The equinox has come, and bends our will.

                          The season I called my niche, October its king and now what a lovely sonnet to usher in its fulness to effect with ambience to lend flavour to perfection. Very lovely and rather stately, rendered beautifully with grand details. Me likes. Thank you so very much for sharing, Sir.

                          • Goldfinch60

                            October is a great time as it is my birth month.

                            Thank you for your wonderful words Missy.

                            If you stopped at "The golden leaves like whispered secrets lie,
                            A burnished crown upon the forest's hair "this would already be a fine piece.

                            • Goldfinch60

                              So kind Dan, thank you.
