The external world literally pulses on my walk to the park. I see fall birch leaves covering the sidewalk between each cluster of white bark, the tree limbs holding a crown of yellow. I walk through the tunnel of leaves, below a gray sky, the wind still wet this late autumn afternoon. I feel like I am in a globe that you can shake and tiny yellow leaves will swirl like snow. After going back and forth through the leafy tunnel, the smell intoxicating, I turn around and walk to my office building, brushing leaves off of my clothes.

This is exquisite. The writer has perfectly captured, with original language, the essence of a yellow leaf day. "... the tree limbs holding a crown of yellow." and "..through the tunnel of leaves, below a gray sky," draw the reader in so they, too, can see, feel, smell the beauty of autumn.
