by November the grasses became laden
with all of the forgotten ones
the change was a bit too sudden
their beauty was adored shortly before
the sight of them brought joy to many
as their warm hues glimmered in the sun
until the air cooled and the wind emboldened
and once pleasant appearances now faltered
dull and undesired they had now become
and hold on they no longer could
they surrendered to the autumn breeze
waving and fluttering in their descent
for to begin again renewed on this earth
the fall is their last measure

Although many people start to bring changes in their lives beginning in January, I think that this season has naturally became that for me. Last year in November, my family and I made a decision that drastically changed our lives. We lost much of our social community and our belief system. Everything changed faster than we could wrap our heads around, and the effects of our decision had a more shocking affect than we had be prepared ourselves for. This has definitely been the hardest year of my life. However, sometimes you have to fall to be reborn anew. I have realized at times to create a better life for yourself and fulfill your goals in life, you have to “turn a new leaf.” Maybe you may be a bit fragile for a while, because change doesn’t come easy. You may lose somethings, but you will gain much more precious things. In the end, your choice won’t be something you will regret. This may have been my hardest year, but I hindsight I wouldn’t have held on for a second more.
