geese going

                                    That time of year again.

                                          They honk goodbye.

                                                 Another leaf dislodges itself

                                                            from the yellow birch tree,

                                                                    sails past on its way to 

                                                                             the ground.

                                               Ah, Autumn.

                                                        Awe . . .  again.

 "To Life"

 late turners, these

green leaves are stronger,

leave later,

 last longer  -

not unlike

late bloomers, who

 need more time to ponder,

get there slower,

hang on, to hang onto
Wonder.

 Time cycles replaying - Look,
another year, and 
         you're still here,
    to see,

to Be.
