To Everything there is a Season

 



To Everything there is a Season

Behold Fall in all its finery;
Bold, bright and colorful;
Welcoming cool nights
and warm hearts.

Our minds slow;
Our hearts open
as we invite warm thoughts
of loved ones to linger.

The season lulls us 
into a time of quiet reflection
in which past hurts and hardships 
can be examined and released
to make room 
for new seasons 
of joy and cheer.



The Season of Forgiveness

Behold the glory of the season!

In the Fall parade
the wood fairies arrive 
in their brightest outfits
to dazzle and cheer us on
as the crisp morning air 
brings the chill of excitement.

Renew your heart,
Make peace with life and yourself,
and choose to start afresh.
