Deliciously cool
A day that’s deliciously cool
Cushioned in the arms of October
A stillness that rules in the hills
As leaves glide down on the path
That leads to Killiney Summit.
The sun breaks through the tall branches
The dogs feast on the smells of autumn
The birds are busily chattering
Couples pass hand in hand
Young mothers with buggies and prams
Old men sit pausing on benches
Imbibing the mild midday sun.
Climbing, we catch a glimpse of sea
A curled leaf floats to my feet
Golden and brown, curled like a cone
A moment of magic, a soft day to savor
Grateful for moments so sweet and so precious
Happy acceptance of what the future may bring.
