Change of season

   Toasted, charred marshmellows.
Flame licked wood. Crackling
sparks seen floating into the crisp,
golden air.

   Soaked apples. Colorful
leaves sprayed across the barren
landscape.

  Laughter as children race to find
each other in the cooling evening.
Drawing closer and closer to the
prospects of hot cocoa, cider and
smores.

  Smiles cross paths of many adults
as they too make, take the challenge.
Echoing the memories they too had.

A wondrous play to see:
               the change of seasons
