Falling Together

 

There is so much beauty all around me

It is mid November here

All of the trees are baring their limbs

So that we can appreciate them again

And so they refresh and rest for awhile

And so they return what the Earth so graciously gave them

The leaves fall unto the soil

As to give back the nourishment that made them so

So there will be new buds covering the branches

When Spring is born again

 

Each season brings new beauty

But I tend to favor fall

Everything Mother Nature lets me see

Is preparing itself for a big change

The trees see this change every year

But for some it' so new, so surreal

Even though it might be scary

To experience for the first time

Nature knows that the clock only moves forward

The sun always sets after it rises

And rises after it sets

Fall always follows Summer

And Winter and Spring are next

 

I supposed the seasons are such for a reason

If Winter came after the flowers bloomed in the Spring

Then there would be no time to appreciate their beauty

And no time for them to give

All that they have in store for me

For us

For our world

 

Looking back

And wishing it could be like it was before

It is kind of like going from Summer to Winter

that is what Mother Nature made fall for

Now is this season

Everything looks as though it is falling down

But maybe things are falling together

If you take a look around

 

This season always gets to me

And I get so lost in the crowd

But maybe this year can be a change for me

Maybe those voices don't have to be so loud...
