I remember distinctly, this hidden road we found.
With our gently laced hands resting between us
We were in the search for our little naval town
But we got off track, and took a wrong turn
That led us to the perfect fall road.
A thick blanket of bright colored leaves
All masked in golden yellow, orange,
Or red as glowing embers;
They occupied the shoulders of the streets
And spilled into the winding lanes that day in September.
The sky above us sealed itself tightly in dark clouds.
Rain began to fall gently from the sky melodiously,
As expected this time of year,
Though it quickly passed to its next destination
Leaving us with the sky above clear.
Surrounding us from every side
Stood the tall trees, surprisingly dense.
For what seemed like a million leaves inhabited the grounds,
They still held a stunning amount of their beautiful creations.
Yet beyond those majestic statues, we could still see the Puget Sound.
Still and peaceful, blue and tranquil
Appeared as though the water were a thin piece of delicate glass.
The sky was a clear deep blue, and the sun itself would soon reveal.
The rays shimmered off of the few residing rain drops
That remained dwelling on the car’s windshield.
As the few small clouds that remained lingering
Began to move off into the distance,
He pointed north up to the sky.
Sharing the large blue stage radiated a multihued rainbow.
Vivid and vibrant, it illuminated unrivaled beauty to our eyes.
It followed us down this curvy perfect fall road,
This road which struck us with such “awe”.
We came to a stop, this road now was over
In this instant we knew that this moment
Would be imprinted in our memories forever.
