RED AND GOLD

A gentle breeze wafted through the city, bringing with it the scent of flowers. It's that time of the year when the trees drape a cloak anew. When leaves change colours and go to leaf heaven, if there is one. When children play with them and their laughter is sweeter than the nightingale's song. When leaves turn red and gold.

The old woman, with silvery hair watched her puppy-eared grandchildren play and tumble among the rustling leaves. It reminded her of her own times, when she would play with her brother. A time of fond memories….

Her husband came up to her and laid a kiss on her brow. He too had silver hair, but it was not from age. He still looked the same as he had fifty years ago. She smiled and brushed an errant leaf away.

She said,” I like the fall. These red and gold leaves remind me of you.”

He smiled. “Me too, mate.”

Two souls, holding hands, walking along the path of life. Their hands may be gnarled, but their love is still young. Still eternal.

They say there is one thing more beautiful than young love. Old love.
