Autumn

 



For a moment, an instant, a blink of an eye we have balance.
Dark and light, the constantly shifting dawn and dusk are for one brief twinkling, equal.
Twice in each year, Spring and Autumn, the day and night hang in harmony.

Now the longer nights approach, the green of Summer slowly fades and Nature gives us fireworks before Winter readies our world for sleep.  A brief blaze of colour, of swirling leaves, tossed skyward on chilly October winds.  A time of reflection, of giving thanks, a time of farewell and preparation for the darker days ahead.
