Color Me
Time flies and as the
Sweat of hard work
From summer’s cloak
Left my back, I can
Feel it’s my time to
Fall again and plant the
Seeds for my growth.
Cold winds blow to
Push me forward.
Not quite freezing,
They only let me feel
What I need to
Spark the warm fire
Of my soul to keep
Moving forward.
Wood chopped to
Continue this flame
As my inner pigment
Reflects on the outside.
Darker the hue,
Brighter the blush
On my cheeks.
Breathing out the fog
That clouded my path
For future season’s greetings
As I color it
On my way.
