a warning posted now ignored, is a lesson in how we teach fear
waves are reactions to an outside force, the lake does not create them
we think of nature as something outside ourselves to our detriment
when the leaves are gone the berries are left to dry the cycle resets
almost unnoticed decorations have appeared to guide our feelings
like a switch was thrown . the chilly november sky . left fall for winter
random conditions . when aligned, create something . once in a lifetime
there is history to be understood; before real change can happen
here’s an empty chair . perfect place to sit and think . unused potential
i don’t know the names . but i might know the stories . they each left behind
