amber leaves whisper,

caught between earth and grey sky—

as summer dissolves.

    I also like the summer dissolving, but I love the imagery that is evoked by "amber." Amber traffic lights demand slowing before a stop. Ancient insects are often found frozen in time, encased in amber. To me, autumn has always meant nature slowing down before the long pause of winter.
