The writing prompt I chose today was “The fall always brings change, but this year…” We had 20 minutes to write.
An Autumn Message
The colors change
The world revolves
The time has come
The winds blow gently as thoughts collect
It is time to release that which has been withheld
The energy within us has been stored
Foretelling the way which we must go
Behold, I am the spirit
Behold, I bring forth a way of being
Behold, I am your future
I stand before a mountain of doubt
I see the fissures of destruction
I feel the worry of the many
I know where we are headed
But stop, think not of what’s wrong
Think not of the damage and hurt
Think not of the trials that we must face
Be the now
Look to the successes, though they be small
Look for the cans, not the cannots
Believe in what you do, and not on what you don’t
I grow as you do
Thinking what is to come is the worst
Then that is what I become
Dream that which you desire
And make it be so
Then I become strong
Look around. You are not alone
Let your conscience be your guide
Together we are all strong
The colors will always change
The wind will continue to blow
Embrace the change for good
And we will survive.
