A Change is Happening

Now chilly air is there in the morning
The warmth is fading from the sun
Now colder winds blow
A change is happening, Summer is letting go


We see birds leaving our gardens, heading South
Trees starting to change colour, slowly loosing leaves
But yes, they promise renewal
However, somehow seeing green beauty fade seems cruel


Yet there is a beauty in Autumn
Light so soft you want to touch
We turn from worshipping the sun
And at times we are glad Summer is done


We light the fire, find warm blankets
Relax and stop for a while
Enjoy this quiet season with glee
Realising how beautiful letting go can be.
