Autumn

It’s back to school time Fresh from a summer of fun and laughter Suppressed excitement – meeting the friends Exchanging and embracing new challenges While autumn leaves turn golden red and fall On summer nourished grass and dance Wind gently making ballet of the shapes You breathe in and absorb the essence of all this Half sad that summer’s gone and winter beckons

Autumn is surely around the corner Liz. I do dread the winter to come later. Agape, Moses

Fall is a time of transition, Liz. Yes, summer is behind us and winter looms ahead, but I like the way you describe the joy of autumn -- seing old friends when going back go school and feeling grateful for the colorful foliage. Very nicely done! Love, Carolyn
