What is it about October
That assures you that
Spring will be back
The weather hints of changes
Leaves are brave enough
One by one
To let go
Taking momentary flight
Abandoning the trees
Making room for new buds
Providing cover for the soil
And food for those below
Lots of work to get ready
For Spring next year
To get through Fall and Winter
