Azure …

Today’s word is “azure” … of or having a light, purplish shade of blue, like that of a clear and unclouded sky. (Dictionary.com)

Orange

Beautiful azure sky,

     Clear and cloudless,

Bright sun shinning on

     Fall’s first leaves of color.

Crisp and sharp,

     The air readies us for change.

If we will just watch

     And listen carefully,

Nature will guide us

     Step by step into her future.

The pattern has been set,

     The future mimics the past.

First the fall and then

     The biting winds of winter.

We find our old coats,

     And wrap them around us.
