I
the weather was chill
but not chilly
late September arrived
quickly
without notice
II
I stepped outside
to enjoy the
changing seasons
wearing more layers
I made my way
around a
loop
before I ate
III
the sky left me
breathless
impatience
lingered in
my steps
shoes rubbed
my heels
IV
colors
on the trees
bring me life
and hope as
markers of time
moving
change welcomes
the small details
holding the
most meaning
