October...


The Autumn breeze,
  Through Algonquin trees...
The earthy scent,
  of fallen leaves...

The golden yellow,
  of Sugar Maple...
The amber shades,
  then russet reds...

A patchwork quilt,
  of many colours...
A coverlet,
  in time for winter...

Some of the things,
  I will remember...
One Autumn day,
  in mid-October.

                                October 1996.
                                Algonquin Park.
