A time of falling leaves where
colors delight the senses and
crisp mornings and cool
evenings refresh the spirit.

Sunshine grows dimmer and
darkness becomes longer.
Busyness takes control and
schedules become dominant.
Activities abound with noise
and laughter.

Serious talks of things to come.
Someday it will have all come
and gone,
A distant memory lost amongst
the other memories.

A time of letting go and
a time of holding on,
until one day the wind blows
and the last leaf falls.

Change has come again,
for the last time
