Thoughts
Sun dappled leaves
grow verdant colours
as autumn carries on towards the first snowfall of winter
loving this season
the child in me
kicks the leaves that lay dormant at my feet
loving the cruch and textures
that lay
like a comfortable blanket
I wrap myself in -
outside my window
the children trick or treat
dressed in ghoulish attire that pleases the givers of candy and treats
while fireworks
explode into bright falling colours
lighting up the evening sky in celebration of those gone before
this season is a time of introspection for me
as I gather courage to face another year
whist recognizing beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
and my life,
as the seasons come and go,
becomes ever more interwoven with the complexities
that time delivers.
