Strands of red drift on the breeze
Stained a darker shade with ease

Amber pierces through the gloom
A promise of approaching doom

Ruby drops pattering down
Like soft rainfall hits the ground

Scarlet dulls the argent sheen
Covered like it's never been

Golden fades replaced by blue
Most unusual in its hue

Weighted down, dripping thickly
Crimson curtain dances sickly
