A chapter in the book A Window On My World

Seasons of Change

by LisaMay


As we hunker down,

these forbidding ill winds blow

a chill in the air.

Trees on the hillside

shed their flimsy golden leaves. 

I add warmer clothes.

Another leaf falls,

adding to others piled up,

and then another.

Bags of fallen leaves

waiting to be cremated.

May they rest in peace.


 





Author's Note:
Here in southern New Zealand the days of autumn are shortening and becoming colder. I am spending a lot of my time at my work table, situated in a bay window that looks across a residential valley to a tree-clothed hillside. Many of the trees are deciduous; seeing the changing colours is a delight. As well as the city's botanic garden, there is a public park within walking distance of my home, so I go there to see beautiful trees as well.
Numerous lives are dropping like autumn leaves in this time of loss.
