Lady Autumn
 
Shall I remember her this way?
With October’s brief morning sunlight
Brushing bright yellow highlights
Through the burnished copper of her hair?
 
For me, she wears her best and finest.
A farewell quickening blaze of colours
That fears nothing save but for myself.
She has never been more beautiful.
 
 “You always knew that I must pass�?
While her voice slides across the sun,
The fading sky of her knowing eyes
Locks with mine across the pale morning.
 
She winks and says, “Remember me this way.�?BR>As she turns and twirls her cloak of leaves,
Each season smiling in her swirling dress.
Bright memories in her shining hair.
 
I remember her this way.
With October’s brief morning sunlight
Brushing bright yellow highlights
Through the burnished copper of her hair.
 
 
Merlin

Rather lovely sir - leaves my imagination with but a few highlights of it's own to be dazzled by - altogether luxuriant methinks
 
Best wishes

Thank you, Jen. I always tend to think of nature in terms of the feminine. So pleased you enjoyed.
 
Thanks, Rhumour. Autumn, I find, sparks the imagination like no other season.

Thanks, Maria. I wrote this personification last year, but have never had the opportunity to post it until now.

Merlin, I enjoy just about everything you write, but in this one...
you have surpassed ourself, this is a wonderfully characterised write.
 
I couldn't choose a favourite line, super work, Zy

What a gorgeous thing to say, Zy! Thank you so much. Id been going to post this sooner, but I thought I'd be better waiting 'till October wheeled around again. (It gave me a chance to "tweak" it a little, too!

This is beautiful, so wonderfully descriptive of the thoughts and emotions that seasons can bring with them

Thanks, Emma. There is a very strong duality in Autumn. An underlying sadness for all that is passing, but that is overpowered by memory and the beauty around us. I'm glad you liked this.
