I love how the days are now
Lingering between hot and cold
How the morning cool touches
And draws us together, pulling
Out sweaters and wraps
And tucking away summer
I love how autumn brings
A different kind of change
Its own time, yet only a time
Between summer and winter
Time to leave one and receive the other
Time to be ok with getting old
Time to be ok with death and dying
Time to see the colors of aging
The winding down of life
In leaves upon the ground
Autumn is different than spring
More relaxed, wise, not in a hurry
Not bursting out of the earth
Been there, done that it says
Now I’m taking it slow
All things come to an end
All things make change
We live the life in between
And let go when it is done
Autumn reminds us of time in between
And to make peace with that space
There is beauty in growing and fading
If we can see the hand of Krishna
Feel the pulse of the soul
Then we are growing up, not down
And ending well
