Camouflage of Colors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mountain Ash leaves

on an autumn afternoon

are snippets of a sunset

followed by the moon

And painted as a still life

drawing memories that I love

of children climbing trees

in the giant limbs above

Hidden among bronzed branches

playing hide and seek

peering down through foliage

hoping for just a peek

As camouflage of colors

surrounds some like a cape

with leaves like feathers on a wing

helping them escape!

I remember playing hide and seek, outside, for hours!  Our Mountain Ash trees were so thick with leaves that no one could see you unless they stood under the tree and looked up…  In autumn, when the sun was setting, the trees appeared ablaze!
