A new trail to explore with a friend

Photo taken by my friend Sylvie (thank you!)

Red, orange, golden trail
unfolds before our feet 
Crisp, crunch, rustle  
is music to our ears. 
A chipmunk dashes 
up a log— 
We see you. 
Leaves pirouette 
take a bow 
to the ground
We hear you. 
Cars rush by
in the distance 
We imagine
it’s the sea—
Waves cover us
like a warm blanket 
We are secure.
