madly falling {part two}

.i came across the most enchanting little place.

.a mini forest of firey trees.

.dark underneath.

.sprinkled with autumn's candy.

.blanketed in quiet.

.like a grove of glowing lolli-pops.
.from the outside.

.slow-paced and inviting.

.shaded by every charm.
.that hung on every branch.

.letting in just enough light.
.to appreciate the view.

.like the center of a secret garden.
.from the inside.

.i sat quietly and took it in.
.so as not to broadcast my presence.
.or disturb this perfectly peaceful palace.

.most of the leaves have fallen by now.
.i think i'll return again next year.
.and bring a blanket.
.or a friend.
.or maybe my sweetheart.
