summer sun fades,
muted colors,
days become shorter.
there is hesitation in the air.
slow movement in unison with the changing seasons.
letting go of distraction,
a time for re-connection to self.
compost for the seedlings
of new beginnings.
inward we go
step by step,
for the start of a long pause.
quiet solitude and deep reflection
changing seasons
welcome sweet autumn.
