Zephyr

If there were no wind what would it mean?

Every day would be calm but is that what we really want?

There would be no freezing winter wind in Chicago

but there would be no summer breeze to enjoy.

There would be no rag weed to fill our nostrils

but there would be no Monarch Butterflies riding the wind and flutter to our backyard.

There would be no tree being destroyed on a moonless night

but we would not be able to see a Palm tree dance in the moon light.

Thank goodness we have no choice for God has made it easy for us and 

said, “Let there be Wind.”

Time to Leaf

  

Fall is sneaking up on the end of summer and the leaves are looking exhausted even though they still have the color of summer running through their veins of green.

Each leaf seems to be heavier than a week ago and the branches don’t sway like they did the other day. 

Even though the branches don’t have the grace anymore, they still are able to hold onto the shaky, dejected leaves for an other day. 

As the Autumn color palette arrives they are able to transform into butterfly color pigments that are hidden inside

                     Finally the day has come and the leaves 

                  are ready for an autumnal display of color.
