Changing Seasons

I wrote this poem in celebration of changing seasons and as a reminder that:

• Transformation is beautiful.
• Being alive in the world is a gift.
• Change is a true constant.
• Being playful and celebrating is good for the soul.

Changing Seasons

A symphony of yellow, bronze and copper hues,
it’s nature’s great festival on the back of a harvest full moon.
We are called to gather and appreciate life’s gifts,
routines now revitalized; our rhythms must shift.
The promise of change swirls through crisp air,
an apt reminder, change is a truth by which we can swear.
Nature moves us through the seasons of time,
each one with a unique offering to embrace being alive.
Transformation is beautiful,
being here in the world is a gift.
Celebrate this new season and receive the bounty of fall,
bask in this moment, rejoice and embrace it all.
