When that Mood manifests,
every thing attests
to shocking beauty of oh, i love "shocking beauty".
all that's in sight.
Dead leaves go painterly maybe replace "dead" because it´s repeated in the next stanza.
it´s probably a strange idea, but how about "dead leaves float painterly/ in radiant melodies" or some other musical verb/ adjective to connect the image of the leaves to rhapsodize? somehow i´d prefer 1st person singular instead of plural.
in drifts of color we
can't help but rhapsodize
with all our might.
Is it this Mood that makes
dead things a scene that wakes
feelings of majesty, "a sentiment" instead of "feelings" for rhythm?
awe and delight?
Or does that fickle Mood "fickle" is a good word.. not so happy with "or", because it´s not either - or. maybe something like "that fickle mood /would sometimes form in solitude,/ from happenstance, just as /the scene is right"
form in our solitude
born out of happenstance
when the scene's right?
