We came to the mountains in October after retirement
we achieved
To start our new adventure and witness the
changing of the leaves.
As we headed up the road to our cabin, immediately
we slowed
Our attention focused on the fallen leaves that were
beginning to carpet the road.
Stepping out we noticed the trees seemed much
brighter than before
As if hinting at the coming miracles and wonders
they had in store.
Each morning we were greeted by the sun and a
cool October breeze
Our eyes darted from one color to the next ‘neath
the changing kaleidoscope of trees
We found it nearly impossible
to focus on one particular hue
From the oranges, yellows and reds of the trees
to the heavens dressed in blue.
We were honored to be a witness at the season of
Autumn’s birth.
Then quickly we felt the evanescence as one leaf
drifted down to the Earth.
The constant falling of colors put this vacation
and our life into context
For as Autumn slowly gives way to the winter,
one adventure gives way to the next.
It was wonderful to travel to the mountains and
among the leaves to roam
But time, as she moves ever onward was calling
us back home
We left the mountains with smiles on our faces
and memories fresh in our heads
Still wondering where this new adventure will take
us and feeling like newlyweds.
It seems to me we live our life in moments that
are continuously rearranging
And it’s up to us to find our happiness as the
world around is changing.
Yes, life is one transformation after another…that’s
what i perceive
Seems to me we have a lot in common with the
changing of the leaves.
