The Fire of Fall

Driving out on this bright and lovely fall day re-opened my eyes and mind to the great outdoors.  The trees, even whole groves, were aflame with autumn colors.  When had I last actually looked at the trees? Maybe at spring budding.

Seeing the trees afire with color reminded me of a poem I wrote some years back about walking through the crackling fallen leaves, thereby aurally rekindling the visual fire.

I have no idea where that poem is, but maybe I'll dig it up one of these days and share it with you.  Meanwhile enjoy the season.  Fall is the best - but always too short.
