Hello Again Autumn
Autumn makes me long for much and for little.
It lures my hopeful heart into a sense of renewal with its
crisp newness.
But all the while hiding behind its back the biggest bully
of them all – Winter.
September leaves prepare themselves for the flamed dance of
October.
Twirling together and bathing in a fading summer sun, in
silky dresses of yellow, orange and cherry, they glide-
Before falling exhausted at the feet of a snowy cold
December.
The golden green of my Irish soul takes comfort that life, much
like Autumn, never stays the same.
Change will come like it always has done since time first
got out of bed.
I will dance this Autumn and promise to bathe in
whatever sunshine I see.
