Autumn Orchard.

I walked
One afternoon beneath the trees
That whisper
In my orchard.
Beneath the trees that crowd and sway
And flaunt their colours,
Blood and gold-flecked,
In my orchard.
They dropped their frail vivid leaves
For me–
To walk upon.
And I
Walked lightly on their dreams
That afternoon.
