| Along the Way |
| I took a long walk along the river today, made my way, leisurely, under old overhead railways. I breathed the cool air deeply as the autumn scenery seduced me...inhaled me. Magnificent fall foliage lined the path I trod, like colorful lanterns lit in daylight guiding my steps. I passed lovers on benches snug in the embrace of one another, ignorant of my singular intrusion into their world. My mind's eye snapped shots of them through a jaded lens, capturing the elusive to gaze upon it later- the only way I knew to make it last. Lush and regal trees, these still green, how they did weep, slouched downward, tears watering the grass beneath. Along the way to nowhere I thanked them for allowing me to believe they wept for me.
