Fall’s Reminder

The stars begin to realign,

Opening new doors,

As summer starts to resign.

With whispers of love anew,

Fall changes what we once knew.

Bringing us a new gentleness.

One made out of love,

One that touches the ocean shores,

And stretches to the mountains.

Where leaves fall in heaps, like fountains.

Fall shows us the beauty in change,

Hoping we’ll accept it rather than think it strange.

As a refreshing crisp settles into the air,

The sun sets without a care.

With night growing darker,

The fiery trees disappear into the shadows.

Clouds gather above like silky meadows.

Fall gives a soft reminder,

Hoping we’ll open our minds –

To what’s in front of us.
