Autumn Leaves

As I watch autumn leaves fall all I can do is wonder..... why have I waited so long to recognize such beauty, have I been caught in my own self-deception achieving meaningless things yesterday? As I stand and stare speechless, today has become a true spectacle, I'm reminded of beautiful memories of friendship now in the air. I have come to recognize something missing deep in my soul, from the cascade of colors that autumn's kaleidoscope brings. As I stare across a meadow, at the orange, browns, reds, and yellows, caught in God's breeze, like the leaves gently I begin to fly.... Before autumn leaves it's nice to see before winter's delivered, that I've come realize it's time to place my memories in my heart.
