Autumn

Behold the trees that shred their garments upon the ground

And kiss the earth beneath our feet and create a joyful sound

They dance with the rythmn of the rushing winds of change

As they sing with mother nature through the valleys, plains, hills and mountain range!



Soon the tree that stood cozy and full of foliage

Will expose its soul standing firm notwithstanding the passing of age

With roots firm upon the ground that sustains itself from the challenges of time

And the hands and body will endure the ever changing clime



Unlike a tree why are we afraid of change?

The shredding of the old and welcoming the new is always a challenge!

Like a tree there is always time to let go

Of the burdens and drop them on the ground below

dear manny, i just read your first post (this poem) and it left me smiling. you pose a very nice question there. for me, change would be challenging since it takes me out of my comfort zone. still, the most challenging moments in my life have been the ones that taught me the most. its kind of a paradox - its difficult but it somehow makes you better.

am eager to read your other posts...
