fall poem, not by me.



What if autumn leaves were sins, hurts, regrets
Stripped of power
Falling lifeless to the ground
Their colors a promise
Of all things being made new
Better, bolder, brighter

Then every stem, vein-each particle
Returns to dust
Nourishing the ground, 
Calling roots to dig deeper
Seeds to sprout

What if a bare tree, mistaken for dead,
Were warmed by the sun
So that branches once barren
BURST 
With green, new life

I was
I am
I am becoming
