Seasons of Life
A quilt of rust and yellow
blankets the ground,
preparing for winter's chill.
Creatures, big and small
find shelter in cozy dwellings
or simply sleep, oblivious
to the harshness to come.
Mugs of steaming cider,
brightly colored sweaters,
coffee cakes fresh from the oven
fill the happy place of those
who are in tune with their senses.
They wrap themselves in such moments,
embracing change as a lover.
Others sit in dreary corners,
dreaming of springtime.
Such are the seasons of life.
