Autumn

Photo and words by Michelle Kroll

As we see the leaves

begin to turn and sway,

chaning all their colors

like the changing of our days.

Let us be reminded

of the length of day and sun,

that we had a short time ago

when summer has begun.

Let us now reflect

of the days now gone.

Days spent in splendor
of the warm summer sun.

And now that autumn

is finally hear,

the wind so crisp,

and falling leaves appear.

Let us too rejoice,

in the autumn now,

when leaves do fall

it is time to slow down.

Slow down and celebrate

the glory of it all.

The marvelous season,

it is here, it is fall!
