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!
