FALL IS RUSHING BY

The raspy rustling of freeze-dried multicolored leaves Rush past my raised windows and open door as the soft breeze Gathers its strength and sprays them haphazardly along The leaf cluttered sidewalk and shadowed lined street. Fall is rushing past me, Massaging my ears, Delighting my senses. Raising my awareness Of another passing year. Another Season coming into its own, Of which I must rise in unison to capture The play of its vibrant life colors To experience its fully clothed glory Trees are giving up their spring and summer growth To the nudging of cooler nights and coming winter snows, Only to rise again with next year’s budding. Each Season expresses a new and different story. So soars by us each brief life through its Seasons, One with the cycles of the Creator, Loving the magnificent moments of brightness and joy It's lingering beauty swept away In the next season of liberation.
