She can smell the leaves turning golden and red
She walks and walks down lonely dirt paths
This is her time.
She sees squirrels hurrying to gather food.
There are baskets of apples and harvest food on neighbors porches.
Family and friends from long ago come to mind.
The crispness of the new england air clears her head and covers her in
cinnamon warmth.
Everything in nature is preparing for winter
Autumn is when things change and die but are reborn into something better and more
majestic.
In this she sees herself.
She wants to be new and full of potential like soon to come spring days.
