In my now time

The leaves fall

One by one,

The autumn dance

 is nearly done.

A single yellow bloom,

In the leaf-buried garden

Gives an Unexpected showing,

Ignites an Unanticipated Joy,

 

Reminder of an unseen force,

A nurturing presence, while trees

settle for winter and roots ready

to stir up new life

Can you feel it?

All is Calm. All is Right.

Now that is a world

To dream about,

Imagine a time when

the power of peace rules.

Truth is the norm,

Justice takes root.

We enter into yet another winter.

Hopes burdened with the past,

While love bears the promise,

the possibility of a new spring.
