Fall Colors


Bright yellow colors signal
the changing of the season.
A cool breeze rushes by
chilling me as I sit basking
in sunshine. Summer is gone.

But it didn't ask my permission
just slipped away like a guilty lover
not wanting to face the music
hiding behind a facade of integrity
until it, too, gives way.
Leaves fall, truth lies naked
like trees in the wintertime.

  1. I enjoyed that very much. It made me think of the way autumn lingers before a big rain comes and takes the remaining leaves down. And it's done and we are alone in space yet again.

    And the photos are masterful.
