A Love Song for September

We drove for fifteen minutes
Through a wonderland of colour
Trees in brilliant gold, orange, scarlet, purple
And we didn't notice a thing.

But when one saucy tree 
Shook her leaves in the sunlight as we rounded the bend
Suddenly we saw them everywhere
Arresting, captivating, beautiful. 

Every bend in the road led to yet more delight 
Every field, ringed with magic
The children clapped their hands
And gasped look! Look!

So much beauty,
Hidden in plain sight. 
Not just autumn.
And not just trees.
In you, too.
