You sniff the
breeze and feel the difference,
Something new
is coming on.
Green was your
life,
it was around
you and among you.
There were
rumors of other colors, out there,
but you were sure they were a myth.
But now, what
is this--
brilliant red
leaves are appearing
out of your
once green ones.
Neighbors all
around have become
orange, brown,
variegated gold.
Ecstatic color
is waking up, and
you discover
you never even knew
what color was
until there was change.
until there was change.
That change to color, explosion close to death... here the leaves are falling though
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes we do take beauty around us for granted.....until there is a change and we think...AH, this is beautiful....until we start taking THAT beauty for granted again. I like your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this - you've some exquisite color imagery going on here ❤️
ReplyDeleteI ike this. It reflects the importance of walking new paths, of experiencing diversity and appreciating the colors when we change.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I was hoping this would come across. Also: Just being "sure" of something does not mean you have proven it to be true ;)
DeleteThose closing lines are especially good. Loved this.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Awesome piece.
