The Fall

Like us, trees change at varying rates.

Some rush ahead, leaves ablaze,

while others slowly shift from green to gold.

There are also those who show no signs

of change and seem to remain ever green.

But in the end, for them and us, growing stops

and there’s a big and final change.

    Like Fall…profound, lovely, sad…all at the same time. Bittersweet.
