Last visit with fall colors

had a great exploratory run of the seattle area today.  i was able to get out of the city and found some final hints of faded fall coloring on the trees.  Combine that with the smell and feel of the fallen leaves underfoot.  i'm loving my time here in seattle.


washed out oranges and yellows,
the reds are faded to rusted pink.

the ground hidden beneath
decaying colors so vibrant
just weeks before

the final scents of fall are in the air

i inhale and wash away my despair

i'm chilled at the core
i sit atop a hill, overlooking the bay
ships come and go
cormorants bob heavily in the sea

a heron comes to rest amongst
the rocky shore.

my mind wanders freely
taking in all around
as a brand new experience.
