    So few words, yet so much depth. The autumnal imagery and quiet melancholy linger beautifully long after reading.

    This brings back a memory. Of butterflies chasing each other. But what you've described here is far more beautiful, far more impressive. Scarlet leaves chasing copper. You made us feel as though they are alive. As if they tell a story as they chased each other. The last line almost echoes. Fantastic work Dani 🤗❤️

    “Loss flutters” - great onomatopoeia word choice, Dani. 😊🍁

    Beautiful, autumn is so fleeting. I love the falling leaves picture/video you included, too.
