The sun hides low in the sky igniting the forest with rays of light. The air lies motionless until a gentle wind whispers, disrupting this peace. With this wind dances a colourful melancholy, painting the seasons with brushstrokes of time. Memories swirl in this cool breeze, though warmth lingers in the arms of trees holding on until the last single leaf falls.
