The leaves are changing
On my daily walks, I see the leaves changing.
The leaves never stay on long enough, which reminds me of this quote by Lucille Clifton:
“the leaves believe
such letting go is love
such love is faith
such faith is grace
such grace is God
i agree
with the leaves.” – Lucille Clifton
