As I walked by an autumn’s reducing sundown
Stepping frivolously by carpets of leaves
I handed by a half completed gossamer internet
As a spider’s intricate laced residence it weaves
The uneven blanket of leaves frivolously quivers
A yearly countryside colored cascade
Divergent scenes showing earlier than me
As earth’s seasonal modifications are made
As leaves shimmer from cautious footsteps
I disturb snails slowly nibbling at one
Of their shade of the day’s deepening shadows
Away from the warmth of a gradual sleepening solar
Chirping birds rapidly pecking at leaves
Spreading their vibrant autumnal sheath
Trying to find tiny invisible bugs
Hiding cool,within the damp earth beneath
Disturbing this cooling autumn blanket
The place colored leaves above me as soon as hung
Bustling birds looking for a final night meal
Taking residence a remaining feed for his or her younger
The final flight from the hive has now ended
All of the bees settled in for the evening
The nocturnals are slowly awaking
As swarms of bats put together muted flight
A crisp eventide mist now descending
As cool zephyrs of damp fill the air
Leaving now could be the solar of my daytime
As evening creatures are leaving their lair
Orange hues lazily,lastly crossing my sky
Creating silhouettes from naked ragged bushes
Earlier than me a remaining shaft of gold seems
As the skinny rim of solar,lazily flees
Above me the celebrities begin to twinkle
As nightfall gathers pace in the direction of evening
Birds are all safely residence at their relaxation
As muffled darkness swallows daylight
Lights in homesteads showing earlier than me
As people say goodbye to their day
Placing to sleep all their issues
Awaiting a brand new solar’s welcoming ray
As I walked by my shortening sundown
Others are watching the delivery of daylight
Half a world away,an awakening day
As my Earth carries on by its flight
