the end starts with a chemical reaction,
a biologic symbol that it is time for change.
the soft greens of the leaves are replaced,
as brilliant shades of reds and oranges grace the treetops,
soon to be a blanket of decaying mass enveloping the earth.
every creature hustling about,
preparing to hunker down for the frozen stillness of winter's kiss,
as the radiant warmth of summer fades into a soft glow.
the nights grow long and weary,
preparing for the long due rest of a life well spent,
until it is time for us to wake again.
