Otherworld Autumn

Written for the group Shades of Light.

Shades of orange bleed in a cold Autumn sky
an ancient world where hues of fire tie
shades of red touch the fir mirrored trees burning aglow
the leaves sway painted orange, red and yellow as soft winds blow
the crimson mountains capped by scarlet flames of snow in the sun
industry to never choke the land, wild beauty never undone
the winding rivers, lakes and oceans shimmer orange reflecting the sky
the pink blossoms of Spring have wilted, soon fiery leaves shall drift from on high
the beautiful chimes of bird song have faded, only the ice birds sing
one sweet haunting melody as over the Autumn trees they wing
the dawn of frost clings to the blood red grass glistening in the fire red sun
a cool caress of a breeze sweeps across the eternal flame swept region
soon the orange blaze of sky shall bleed to crimson hues of the eve
three blood fire moons in a star painted sky as otherworld beauty weaves

This is very well done, not only a great subject, but filled with colour and subtle description with loads of great lines, fine job.

A fire light of autumn spread across the sky... across the universe... You awaken a world so distant, yet so close at hand.
