October Scene

In the Fall, I like to drive back home through the country road lined by
  poplar trees   bordering rice fields.
The trees in October dress in silver and gold.
The sunset colors the trunks orange.
I stop there to relax for a moment; to look at them and to
   hear the wind and their leaves sing.
Good evening they whisper;
Good evening I reply, hoping that tomorrow they will still be here
...and that I will be too.

 

Place: Ticino Park, Pavia, Fall  2001.
