the leaves turn colors that indicate warmth while the temperature steadily looms south
i begin to realize another year is passing
lessons learned and unfinished business are the present and the past…
i lay and ponder
with the beautiful glow of the evening fire flickering at me
i discover my options and delightfully choose fate and faith
abandon my preconceived notions in exchange for warm visions in cold nights by sizzling fires
i choose to embrace the change happening around me and adjust accordingly
to jump into raked leaves at my disposal full of my desires
and allow them to fall again…catching me in a hard and soft place
captive to physics but free from myself
left with fate and faith
and im cool with that…
