september’s end

september’s end

comes with the cusp of autum

just around the bend

 

far up in the north

the leaves begin the change

signaling their final dance

 

the dance may end in snow

cold or rain or wind

or fluttering softly, slowly to the ground

but like all life

 it is a new begining

 

for last years leaves

and from the many years before

become the richer soil

bringing forth abundance in the spring

 

let my life be

like the autum leaves

 full of color and dancing

singing happily in the breeze

as the winter sun

sitting lower to the ground

makes the colors ring much richer 

 than the summers hottest dream

my song
