Letter From the Editor

Shades of Change

The cool morning breeze,

swishes the leaves off the trees,

leaving pools of colorful leaves

to wilt beneath the solid branches.

The days of autumn are bittersweet,

temperatures change the colors

from green to brilliant shades to treat,

our eyes to nature's amazing canvas.

Orange, yellow, crimson red,

sends visual messages to my head,

telling me of imminent change,

this season does rearrange,

my thoughts and feelings

toward winter's dealings,

that drive the mind toward sadness

anticipation of isolated loneliness.

As each leaf falls from the tree,

I see the strength of each full branch,

and find myself in a meditative trance,

connecting to the change of another season.
