Word Limit 750
The cold wind whistles past my ears
my boots crush along the leaves
and my breath comes out as steam
but it is not just another walk in the park
the leaves fall like delicate things
and the birds chirp elegantly
the squirrels scramble in twos
and the fish swim in their schools
but it is not a normal day
my phone does not light up nor does it ring
no cars zoom by, ever in a rush
laughter does not sound
the swings push back and forth alone
like a feather in the wind
because it is not just another walk in the park
the people have all left, their cars in idle
the dogs wait for their owners
as the toys await to be picked up
for everyone is gone, except me
