find more color in the slough
your spin and touch the colors of autumn with your little nose.

your beautiful family joins you in the joy of leaves as you spin and chase color,

but then you find there might be joy on the other side of the bridge and you come out - little feet wet

and body sleek

to find some dirt to roll in

and sit with the moment for a little

and then the river calls

and you gather to romp

and find more color in the slough
