Fall is kicking down the door
as summer slips away,
almost unnoticed,
like a whisper floating in the wind.
A collage of colors takes residence
upon the leaves of the trees,
and the flowers that
were once dominate
in all their glory
have laid their heads
low to the ground
like the flightless
ostriches of Africa
when confronted with danger.
Their times have been spent,
and their seasons have come
to an end. Fall is rushing
in with great leaps and bounds,
and the wind
blankets Mother Earth
in all directions.
The mountains seem taller somehow,
and all the more inviting,
and the sea sings her song
as her tides come barreling
onto the shore. The days
are shorter, and the nights
are cooler now. This is Fall,
my favorite time of the year.
