Autumn
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; arrives
on waves of 
sheer exhilaration&nbsp;&nbsp;
for those summer
&nbsp;&nbsp;worn&nbsp;&nbsp;bodies&nbsp;&nbsp;
hungry for&nbsp;&nbsp;horizons
enveloped in&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;colorful palettes 
fall is courted 
with the best 
of intentions
a clearly
 moody lover
&nbsp;&nbsp; who year after year 
whispers goodbye 
in piles of leaves&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; among rapidly
vanishing&nbsp;&nbsp;vistas
