Now is a Time for Change

Now is a time of change, looking within

Looking ahead and behind to move forward

Settle in, nostalgia and introspection provide insight

Preparing for summer's end, winter's first chill

The radiance of Autumn unfolds, start, begin again.

Looking back over the sands of time, here and there

The lanterns sway, dancers revel, viewing life on the Steps of St Paul's, wondering what will come next

Dipping toes on the threshold of Pacific shores

The smell of peppers roasting in the mountain desert.

The Mile High city beckons but I remember who I am,

Where I came from, who came before me for I cannot forget myself but grow stronger as I travel through

This world, this life that is my own, sharing it with

Others along the way, along this ever winding road.

Now is a time to transform, settle in, and just be.
