Transitional Autumn

the seasons always treated him with all kinds of rain shine and storms but he was never the fall guy and enjoyed deviating from dogma and norms with fresh springs in his step he rebelled as if there was no future tomorrow which brought him satisfaction and joy but also fierce rejection and sorrow summer brought heated adjustment to society’s wishes and compromise he sold out for a while became calmer but was still rather foolishly unwise now he is in the autumn years of his life and calls for reflection and balance but harmony still eludes his equilibrium and sometimes he drifts into trance the rational mind fights with the emotional counterpart for solutions in vain does not always resolve differences and contradictions and leaves him in pain but while his branches get brittle the roots shaky and leaves turn into fine dust of winter composure with longer shadows he knows that all seasons need trust 12th September
