Chartreuse Dreams

I set off on one of my autumn dreams 
Under sunlight’s pale golden beams
Meandering tawny meadows 
Looking for gilded harvest rainbows 
I muse into gurgling brooks, streams 

Trees prepare to bare their soul 
Cascading russet, copper leaves fold
To lay down a carpet of gold 
Nip in the air warmness stole
Braes hibernate as I stroll

I breathe a palette of earthy hues
Air crackles in the ruddiness that brews.

Happiness reigns supreme 
In the footfalls of my chartreuse dream.
