Ode To Autumn

I felt, with the coming of September, a change in the air as I breathed it in and felt the perambulations of the atmosphere about me, noticing the descent of dark had quickened its pace. I love Autumn, for the sacrifice of the leaves as they throw their bodies to the ground, for the smell of primal fires that forever linger, for the cooling air as it de-pressurises in density.
Perhaps this poem isn't very worthy, but this is an ode to Autumn:

Autumn, at last!
You divined your way
into my life
shadowing the season of Summer
as sure as the flow of time,
gentle as undisturbed waters.
You darken the horizon
with vicissitude in your very nature-
to bring about man’s instalment
of unnatural light.
You quiet the bird that sings
as you usher in your successor;
Winter-
our most frigid mistress
who opposes the gayety, opulence
and nakedness
of our great Summer
who, shyly, bows out
proceeding your advance
