the changing of the seasons

is here

right here

sweating a moment ago

being twirled around by the wind now

the leaves are hanging on for their lives

they know that their death is to come soon

ah… its a good twenty degrees cooler today

in one day such a transition

the earmark of fall or winter who knows

its time to let mother nature take a rest

let the air and space reign prominent

time for thought

as the plants and trees

hold on giving thanks to their roots

and for a nomadic version with horizontal roots

’tis the time to find a grounding space

or roll along with the wind

to a place where it’s warmer

delaying the inevitable…

a true possibility

or to embrace the winter

snuggle up with a love

regroup until spring comes…
