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.

Only wishing that the next season was Spring instead of that four-letter word, 'SNOW.' Lovely penning, Chula. Heavenly Holidays, Gershon
