Sepia Hues

A vignette.

The rays of the sun hug the treeline, clothing the wooded fortress in warm, sepia hues. Dark timber decaying within the colors of autumn, years upon years of organic pages written anew day after day. The curves of the leaves direct the sunlight to a crescent, leaving a small trench  in the middle shadowing the lifeline that connects the leaf to something much bigger than itself. The unrhythmic harmony of a flowing creek fills the air, only to converge with the melodic flighted creatures temporarily residing in the treetops. Sounds of scurrying small animals rustle like a bassline, marching on to the songs of nature. 

Clouds overhead begin to turn dark, conjuring malevolence and soon blanketing the area with a gloomy vignette. White beams of light become sporadic throughout, creating beacons of hope for life dwelling within. The sound of flowing water still floods the area, this time carrying a monotonous undertone. A crisp wind blows through, rustling trees and chilling the spines of daywalking creatures. A deep roar is heard from afar, becoming the heartbeat of the darkness. Light rain drips through the trees hit each individual leaf as a pebble hits the asphalt, assembling a late evening choir. The upbeat, sharp music of daylight falls flat and slows to an ominous melody. Diminishing into a pianissimo, the tune of death is matched.

I think it needs it.
I really don't know...am new to this...but as a reader, it did not draw me in and I'd skip.
Reckon maybe the language needs to be slower, IYKWI mean. Lure me in.
I'll come back because I've read your other stuff, but right now I'm in a hurry.
That there is your enemy here AFAIC. Hope I'm not being rude
