Wordless Wednesday -Karissa

As many of you already know Karissa is no longer with us.  She was a very talented woman and will be missed immensely.  I enjoyed her knowledge, dedication, and passion about living a “green and clean life.”  I am completely at a loss for words and can’t believe this has happened…

Fallen Leaves

Leaves that blow from autumn trees

Prepare the way for winter freeze

To chart the paths of moving time

A cycle plays out nature’s rhyme

Though sometimes leaves do fall in spring

The sound’s an unfamiliar ring

New from buds the leaves they form

They grow amidst the sun so warm

So why do some release their bounds?

And tumble gently towards the ground

To disconnect from what they know

And sacrifice the chance to grow

Only god can know these things

And why he calls for leaves in spring

Perhaps leaves choose to ride the wind

To find some place to start again
