Getting to Me

 

Living the bon vivant lifestyle

Doesn’t always leave room for reflection

It’s usually straight ahead – no stopping

You can always look back on things -

Later in pictures

 

But once in a while

Things stop you

A little pause in the action

A moment to be noticed and taken in

 

Like the change in the seasons

From summer to fall

Where the ice in the tea is heavy for summer

But melts as the tea is warmed for the coming frost

 

And so today had one of those moments

A stop in the action

A message and meal full of reflection

One of those – this is important things

 

And while the story only ends

When we depart this world

How the different chapters play out

Is a constant wonder

 

And so for today

It was getting to me

For the better or worse

The seasons change

 

And so do we

As we journey ahead

Melting ice in our tea

To stave off a cold
