POSSIBILITIES UNBOUND
The wind tugs at the leaves as though anxious to be on its way.
The trees start to shake and quiver, and the limbs begin to sway.
A dried old leaf gives up its fight to hold to its bark covered branch.
It's seen so many things pass by, things that would entrance.
Drifting past a nest of young robins, their parents sitting nearby.
Soon their training will be complete, then they can take to the sky.
A tiny bush mouse sits quietly there, its bright little eyes searching.
It's spotted a beetle struggling by, not much longer will it continue its lurching.
A baby deer watches the falling leaf, as it ends its fall to the ground.
The beautiful world of mother nature, its possibilities unbound.

A subtle reminder to pause
Decisions carefully weighed

When I sit in my garden
On my little wooden seat
In summer or winter
Day or night, it matters not
You are with
by Amanda Piatt
The Coming of the Change
How fragile the young and twisting green
For lack of rain a sight most seen
Brown beneath the withered
