Fall, My Teacher

Fall is my teacher.

Leaves scatter across the roadway.
Fall, "Learn to let go."

Winds shift direction.
Fall, "Change is swift, exciting."

Leafless trees shake off the unnecessary and slow down.
Fall, "Pay attention."

Colors warm as temperatures drop.
Fall, "Beautiful inconsistency."

Rain, a daily companion.
Wet hem on jeans, a jolt.
Raindrops on the window...
Fall, "Fresh views." 

Hot tea, cinnamon, steaming soup.
Fall, "Sunshine is inside."

No razor, warm tights, blankets, knit caps, pretty scarves, boots, cushy socks, winter coats, fires... comfort, a creation.
Fall, "A lesson in self-care."

Yellow, orange, brown, diverse, electric charge, Fall waltzes in, unreserved extrovert, and declares, "Be yourself with abandon!"

Fall, my favorite teacher.
