Autumn

Autumn…

Falling leaves, bright orange and red and yellow

That cool crisp feel to the air that takes your breath away

Invigorating, a promise of change

But before that newness of life there must come death

Bitter cold; bone-chilling winds; rain

Death of what has been

In good time, beauty will burst forth from the wreckage

Color will once again revitalize as the sun brings warmth

Life rises up in full bloom; an unstoppable force
