**Whispers of Autumn** Leaves twirl down, in dusk’s embrace, Soft sighs of wind, a gentle trace. Sunset’s glow, a fading lace, Time drifts slow, in nature’s grace. Golden hues and chilly air, Fires crackle, warmth to share. Stories woven, memories rare, In twilight’s hush, we find our spare. Beneath the boughs, shadows play, Echoes linger, dance and sway. Life unfolds in a quiet way, Embracing change, come what may. A tapestry of fading light, Hope ignites the coming night. Stars awaken, bold and bright, While hearts whisper, hold on tight.
