Sic Transit Gloria

 


The forest has sacrificed its crown of 

glory in its pact with nature to surrender 

the ephemeral beauty that Autumn brings 

in an all-too-brief flirtation with summer's

end brandishing foliage in divinely

inspired embellishments transforming

mundane greens to golds, burnt umber

crimsons and purples in an embroidery 

of exquisite finesse no legendary gods 

of Greek fable could have hoped to rival.
