seasonal glance

she stood
there
wrapped up
in visions
and
contented
smiles
at the
cool  
stone-lined
pathway
overlooking
the lazy
flowing creek,
unannounced
as
it passed by
those
pastel glazed
fall trees,
their  
happy tears  
marked  
by each
magnificently
dropped
painted leaf
that  
were readily
given up  
to  
the delight
of tourist
and
occasional
passing friends.
