Favorite Quote:
Men go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the long course or rivers, the vast compass of the ocean, the circular motion of the stars, but they pass by themselves and they don’t even notice.
Augustine

Overcast sky,
Wind blowing harder,
Leaves changing colors,
Red, yellow, and orange.

Years growing to eternity,
Months growing longer,
Leaves changing colors,
Red, yellow, and orange.

Days growing tedious,
Hours growing closer,
Leaves changing colors,
Red, yellow, and orange.

Minuets growing short,
Seconds don’t seem to last the hour,
Leaves changing colors,
Red, yellow, and orange.

The trees sway softly,
Setting the orchard on fire,
Leaves changing colors,
Red, yellow, and orange.
