| Look down London, ON October 2024 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
After they’ve fallen from the trees.
Lost their luminosity.
Shrivelled into a terminal brown.
And crumbled back into the ragged earth.
Soon enough, even the colour-seekers will be gone.
Soon enough, snow will descend over what’s left, an imperfect blanket above the decaying grey mess covering the valley floor.
Yet even amid the silence, there are stories deserving to be told.
Maybe they’re not brilliantly coloured.
Maybe they’re mere shadows of their former selves.
Maybe they’re not even recognizable.
Still, even the things not brilliantly coloured are worthy of a moment or a look or a thought.
So before autumn loses its grip to winter, we crouch down on the forest floor and shine the light where it deserves to be shone.
