Even Nature

I watched as the seasons changed, painting the landscape in a myriad of colors Filling the air with fireplace fragrances as glowing embers reached to the heavens safely out of harms way Gardens entered their slumber stage while the last petals of summer’s bouquet fell softly to the ground Creatures big and small prepared for the chill building dens or finding hollow logs to call home I see so much beauty at this time of year but then I think, I’ve seen this all before nothing new, nothing innovative just the same old, same old And then I turned and gazed upon the last leaf on a lonely branch of an old oak tree fluttering in the wind and I thought, now that is creative… even nature is waving goodbye to me

An innovative point of view, the seasons may repeat themselves, but it gives poet's the notion to write stunning poetry like yours Chris. Nature was waving 'ello by the way. :)
