tim's Bits and Pieces - 68. Eagles Fly

Today your leaves are yellow and gold

And some shine in burnished red

Soon autumn’s winds will coldly rage

And trees will then give up their dead

 

Nature will cover us in her skirts of white

Protected from the ice and snow

Life harbours safely underground

Waiting for spring’s relief to blow

 

The world turns not only for trees

Putting behind us mistakes and pain

Every year we begin anew

Our souls nurtured in life’s refrain

 

But Nature has her way with us

We, like leaves too, will die

The young turn fresh faces skyward

In awe, when watching eagles fly

I really, really like this. It's beautiful, and makes me feel the power and beauty of autumn, and the duality of the changes I see happening around me. The last two stanzas are fantastic.

Beautiful, and true. This piece speaks in a clear voice. Wonderful. 

Thank you ... now is the time slough off the old, the past maybe ... hunker down and let things develop over winter ... and life starts again in spring.
