Poem | Waiting Shed

There is a lone waiting shed
In the countryside along a
Stretch of a bent road.

It is made of concrete and 
Painted in calming blue
Like the expansive clear sky
During the Summer heat.

A cold breeze breaks through 
The misty air. Autumn is coming.
One by one, the green foliage
Of Maple trees queuing
The one-way road begin metamorphosing
Into sunset-and-wine hues.

I'm waiting under the lone waiting shed
By and by, watching the cars
Pass by. One of them stops and
You emerge out from it.

From the book I'm reading, I
Look up leisurely and there you
Are smiling brightly at me. 

I realize there and then that
you are more beautiful than the
Red-and-orange foliage
Surrounding the both of us.
