Autumn Leaves Fall

AUTUMN LEAVES FALL I folded my umbrella after the rain stopped the little beads of water formed crystals on the golden leaves of autumn laying on the ground I put away my parasol and shook the water off I really enjoy walking in the rain I get a good feeling when the weather begins to chill giving the air a brisk coolness I snuggle in my warm coat to enjoy the warmth of my body it strengthens my senses Coming alive from their summer hibernating lair they stimulate I love autumn to me it’s the best time of the year I remember smells that foretell great celebrations to come Glorious feasts up ahead with great expectations are the best lead in to the holidays before winter all wonderful pointing to the end of national turmoil and the end of uncertainty, the end of doubt and a worrisome future Happy endings are not always made on a Hollywood stage people have a lot to do with creating happiness happiness is there for the taking if the spirit is willing and mindfully conscious of the alternative Keep smiling, be happy the alternative stinks tomorrow will always be with us so will sorrow but only if we give in to it perpetually We are human and resilient we can smile even laugh at adversity we can even write songs to bad times golden autumn leaves with beads of water give me hope.
