Autumn's Arrival

Emerald leaves, tall-standing trees 
Colourfully, a canopy transforms and unveils 
Burnt, bold oranges, rich crimsons, and butternut golds 
Like jewels, they radiate in the September sun

Mother Nature gently guides, the leaves obediently perform and persevere 
The dark hues of their wounded state prepare to succumb 
I too, need to release the darkness of my wounded heart 
May the change of seasons remind me that like the leaves, there is a time to glimmer
And a time to let go
