Ode to autumn

Leaves quietly cover a forest path.

Oscar leads the way…

Around the bend, we come across the perfection

Of clouds, warm stone church and the flaming torches

Of the trees.

The churchyard is ablaze with colour;

Leaves crunch underfoot.

The warm red of the priest’s shed

Matches the leaves.

Time to head home

Under the canopy of a dramatic sky.

Oscar is more than happy with his walk —

For this is the radiant joy that is autumn.
