THE FALL
by © Marla Wardell
The abundant, redundant season.
Ushering in the winter, like an appetizer before the big meal.
Just a taste of what is to come.
Beautiful and temporary.
Leaves dying, revealing their true selves.
Falling, soft at first, then dry and fragile.
Beautiful and temporary.
Temperatures falling, days shortening,
Sunshine fading, slowly, readying the whole world for rest.
Beautiful and temporary.
Fall.
