Autumn comes like a spirit in disguise.

It slinks by like a fleeting shadow.

There and gone right before your eyes.

The moonlight causes the world to shimmer with a silvery glow.

In this veil the world does not look so haunted.

Lanterns cast their amicable light over the earth like an amber cape.

Trick-or-treaters head out into the world undaunted.

Autumn changes the world as it slips into winter's slumber; slowly dawning it's alabaster drape.
