Fall's here...


Fall’s here with its colors
Leaves will change by minute
From yellow to pink to rubicund

Fall’s here with short days and long nights
Giving more time to relax and get cozy
Prepare for a new start, all over again

Fall’s here with foggy mornings
Bringing the mystery back to life
Giving the sun a workout to peek through the veil

Fall’s here with opportunity to let go of old
And begin to prepare for new
Join the leaves, the year, the season

Fall’s here with that sound of crushed leaves under your feet
Nothing grows back if it doesn’t break
Nothing comes back if it doesn’t leave

Fall’s here with the in-between cold and hot
A break from one, a brink of another
Time to introspect and time to look forward

Fall’s here with the rain
Nourishment and relief
Rinse away and buff up

My favorite season of all
Here comes the fall.
