A prayer for Autumn

​The seeds are falling from the flowers
There is balance in the day and night hours
The leaves are shedding from the trees
We feel the autumn crisp wind’s breeze
As my garden begins to sleep
I will not mourn, I will not weep
I will hold space for all that dies
As this season shifts, so too shall I
For balance is found in living and death
I hold power within this breath
Autumn is here for it is your turn
Now is a time to harvest and learn
As a child of earth I honor your shift
Fall is around us,
I welcome this gift
