Fall Wind

The tumultuous Fall Wind
Makes chaos
Of the once living
A beautiful mess of color

The wind turns
On the hind haunches
Of His Majesty
"Change"

And we are left motionless
In His wake
Pained with the cuts of unknowing

Motionless, speechless
We stand
As the leaves of chaos and color
Envelop us

We feel fear and guilt
Sadness and despair

Yet we also feel
A measured anger
And a bruised sense of righteousness

And in this we find light
For these
Are the motivators
Of our human souls

These are the pieces of our spirits
That enable us
To walk proudly
Into the fog of unknowing

As the leaves settle around us
We stand tall against the wind
For we are stronger
Than these tears may suggest

These tears are
The witnesses of our power
The testament of our faith

Fall Wind
Yes, dry these tears today
But Majesty be damned
You see them tomorrow

For in the morning
We march forward
Faces accentuated
By dried riverbeds
And emboldened souls

We are a powerful
And a stubborn people

Our resistance
Is defined by the autumn colors
You strive to confuse
With your entropy

Our souls are now calmed
Our hearts filled
And our marching feet
Oriented by your gravity

Look to your horizon
There you will see us standing
In the dawn

Witness our sunrise
And beware of its Beauty

The easy life of your past
Will be gone
For we come to rob your ease
And the costly complacency
You once knew

Majesty
Until dawn
When we see you again.
