Autumn 2006

Autumn 2006
By Tommy

Autumn never happens in the desert,
Leaves do not turn colors there.
Flowers are short lived.
No, Autumn takes place…
Where there is life!
Changes take place to make us better!

Soon, the frost will come.
By then, the shades of leaves will only be brown,
But that is weeks away.
Today, we will enjoy the reds, bright oranges, the yellows, and violets.
The bright blue sky is not silent…
Especially with its canvas of contrast.

The season is about to change.
Days will become shorter for a time.
Jack Frost will appear in the early mornings.
The Thanksgiving Season will follow.
During Autumn, we all reflect on our lives.
We have seen a lot of changes!

The pumpkins are filled with scented candles.
Hot spiced tea or coffee is on the menu.
We want to go home.
Some of us will.
Some of us will not!
Our past Autumns are filled with emotions and memories!

During Autumn, we think…We meditate…We reminisce.
We think about our loved ones.
We think about love.
Autumn is a time to be thankful.
The sweet essence of home is strong...We belong! Winter won’t be long…
But today, we sing a love song. How could anything go wrong?
