Change

Autumn rings the bell of change

As winds blow the leaves

Colored all shades of red, orange and gold

To the ground

Birds song resonates across the sky

As grey clouds speaking of rain

Gather

Here I am alive and breathing in

This magnificence

And even as my soul falls into despair

Shades of hope summon themselves

I can hold this space tenderly

As tears arise

For often the sheer magntitude

Of love and relationships

Life and suffering

Is overwhelming

Feelings arising

In need of shedding

So then I dance and breathe

Breathe and dance

As the autumn winds

And falling leaves

That surround me

Remind me

All is change
