Autumn licks at the corner of our existence
We are all at once ready and able
Time ticks on
Hatter sings and Joker dances
The peppermint clouds and cinnamon dust waft through the window
Another day
Another day
Crisp leaves and gentle breezes
We gather them up like treasures
Keep them in our pocket
Wait for another year
Another year
I am sure that the breeze will come and wash away the darkness
Autumn comes
Winter stays
Summer lingers in the background
We will wait and gather stones
Open the window and let the light prevail.
With Autumn being around us we will always have hope!!

We can find treasures everywhere whatever the season. We find them because we want to; not only in nature but in other people too and if we look very hard we can even find them in ourselves as well. Very well written Jae.
