Fall's
Changing
Focus
So harsh and cold, the late October wind
Oak branches sway before the orange moon
Bright leaves that filled its branches now have thinned
Just one remains to dance in autumn's tune
But I stroll to the river filled with hope
A group of manatees takes shelter there
Their playful ways have always helped me cope
In winter when the trees have stripped to bare
Our love for living things will linger on
Throughout the winter, we'll seek signs of life
Though dormant plants may seem like they are gone
I choose to see the boons, not study strife
For birds and animals still entertain
When spring returns, we'll welcome blooms again
