Fire Trees

 Lovely October

Maple leaves dance like flames, igniting the landscape with their brilliance. They turn, whispering secrets of the season’s transformation.

Pale amber sunlight falls across, the reddening October trees, 

That hardly sway before a breeze. As soft as summer: summer's loss

Seems little, dear! on days like these. - Ernest Dawson

Listen to the golden trees

 Whispering secrets of the season,

painting the world in warmth.
