Transitions

Its fall

The hot is transitioning into cold

The trees leaves are changing colors

And as you watch them zoom by in the moving car

The leaves sway

And then drop

And you’d probably think, that maybe looking at these leaves falling you would somehow correlate it with the darkness of Death

You see the funny thing about trees is they shed their beauty each and every year

And still spit out oxygen so we can breathe

They don’t complain they simply die

And then are reborn

And gain more beauty than they did before

And I’d like to think of heartbreak this way

I’d like to say as we’re dying inside we get prettier almost everyday

Like everyday the weather changed

During the transition into fall you still have your warm days

And suddenly the days get colder and colder

And for a while you think it will never change

But just like the days got colder

Those days got warmer

And abruptly you were magically reborn

into a person who now loved and respected themselves more
