Falling Fast

                                            It's Fall.
 The sky wrestles between moody greys and opulent clouds.The sun comes out in short intervals as  it   adjusts    to it's reprieve as well.

                             

 The corn fields stand in silent surrender,awaiting the reaper.

  

The forests and woodlands burst with stunning vibrancy.                The magnificent colours sweep the landscape 
               with a grand gesture of benevolence.

The gardens have a weathered appearance . Bravely the flowers bloom on ,as if completely unhindered by the sudden chill in the air.






          





   Lamenting is useless. Completely unnecessary.
Tears and joy mingle to imbue the present with raw beauty.

Only when we have come to the place where we can say,"yes, it is all beautiful.
The hope, the passion,  the thriving,  the surrender."

We humbly whisper "thank-you" in awe and adoration.
