Leaves Change Color
As the leaves change color
So do I change my mood
I love the autumn months
They are cool to the touch
And filled with a feeling
Of a breeze that ignites
My infinite possibilities
Deep within my soul
As the pumpkins come
And the spices alleviate
The brooks become a haven
For the mind to escape
And the sun becomes a friend
Unlike before when it suffocated
And produced scars
Where the heat hurt
But now its power is reduced
And the breeze comes alive
With a bite
And the grasses blow
Within the cool winds
Where my mind grows
Full of ideas, those of life
Those of tender hearts
And feelings of love
From this season of change
Where colors of orange
Brown, yellow, and gold
All hold a special part
Within me, and fill me
With an awe of tranquility
I cherish each year
Now the leaves have blown
Upon the ground
Winter makes its call
But don’t frown
White blessings come home
This evening
