Strolling © 2011 Molly Lin Dutina

Strolling down the street today with the dog
a north wind came to refresh our part of the earth
and summer
gave way
to autumn

Instead of humid stillness packed
with dense air you could almost “see”
we were graced
with cool breezes
puffs of refreshment

And I found myself in the path of
one hundred
thousand
golden
falling
leaves

Thank you north wind for sharing the locust shower
Praise You , Lord, for the joy of changing seasons
