embracing change

 

 

sitting in my window
in the early
of a November
morning
rays of sunlight
streaming
and a season changing

peering down upon
the landscape
fallen leaves blanketing
while others still
clinging to the trees
unwilling to let go

but the wind blew
and the season changed

and despite rhetoric
ramped up and angry

this is a time
a season

to come together

to stop the hatred
and the fear mongering
one person at a time

because
believe me

xenophobia
bigotry
misogyny
and racism
have no role
in this new administration

we are a nation under God
indivisible
with liberty and justice for all

working together

in a season often overlooked
where leaves have to fall
in order to usher in the new

embracing change

and praying for our country
