autumn melody (haibun)

I felt energized walking to the bus today with the warm
sun. Imagine walking September 25th
in a sleeveless shirt and jeans. Yes,
indeed, it was so warm, I had to put my hair up in a bun, the sun was so hot on
my neck. I had checked the forecast
before leaving and felt encouraged to see that mid 20C was expected until
Sunday. Today was my last day of my work week since I have Friday and Saturday
off. So off I marched to the bus in good
spirits.
summer heat
yet autumn wind
blew fallen leaves
Ah but when I passed a row of trees, my feet touched a
precious season’s gift. I slowed my pace
to hear the sound that pleased my ears.
Within a few seconds, I was a ten year old walking to school hearing the crunch under my feet observing
the lawns covered with reds, amber and shades of gold and yellow. Fast-forwarding in my reverie I was jumping
in a large pile of leaves, making my crunch, autumn bed...last play before the ground will freeze...until I
will lay on a white blanket making snow angels...but not quite yet...
jubilant
walking through autumn treasures
crunch of fallen leaves
crunch of fallen leaves
season`s new sonata
music to my ears
