come take a walk with me

come take a walk with me,
see the world through the
eyes of magic and wonder

a leaf, still, dangling from
its branch, sun infused red,
bright farewell to summer

a dog, running through
a stack of leaves, dancing
laughter in canine form

the pond, sunlight filtered
through leaves, shining
like diamonds on its water

fresh autumn air fills our
noses, makes our lungs sparkle
with the delight of autumn

turn left, turn right, feet
going where the heart leads us
joyfully laughing, peacefully whole
