Bright sun and cold wind open the garden door
A welcome breath of clean air
With close inspection, noting
Tiny changes, infinitesimal changes
The slow anticipation of growth and bounty
Blink and behold: color, movement, texture
A wild dance between flora and fauna
Gaining momentum until time fades
Creeping shadows follow blue skies
The hum of life clings frantically
to slowing maturation
Fiery foliage, golden grasses
The flame of the last hurrah
Signaling time to go home
Rest and reset
For loved ones have been waiting
