Duality

Duality By Gaiyle Connolly

Autumn disappoints… Sun seeks shelter somewhere else. Heat hastens to find a new haven. Birds sadly bid au revoir. But gold chrysanthemums bloom. They prolong summer’s warmth and joy despite the frost.

Life is Brief By Nancy Lou Henderson

Budding and growing in early Spring, shaping, then becoming colors of green. Rustling and holding tight, cooling, then shading in the sunlight. Changing and turning brown in the Fall, floating, then bouncing like a ball. Rolling and sailing in the wind, rising, then glidingonce again. Twirling and dancing in the air, landing, then resting somewhere. Understanding and loving being a leaf, Accepting, then knowing life is brief.
