Fall: As A Passage Of Our Lives Poem by Dave Tanguay

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” Albert Camus

A special version of fall:

To explain this version of fall I need to include the other three seasons. For the other three cycles of nature, have an exclusive purpose of their own which all lead to the explanation of fall which I present here. Just as a poet uses metaphors in poetry, this is the way I view the seasons leading to fall.

First, the birth of spring: a child is born sprouting from its seed, a new youthful, energetic, creation of God and nature. Learning using mother natures means of survival to grow straight and strong. Coming into full bloom and standing on its own.

Then comes the summer: and the trial begins for the gift of life is not free for any of God’s creation, all of whom have life have their purpose and function. All must contribute doing their part, the only way the world has existed for all of these years, and the only way it can continue to function.

NOW! comes the fall: some people view a phase of their lives as the “autumn of their years” they are referring to a passage of life we all enter. For our years are matured old and wise, the feeling of a sense of calmness, and serenity, looking back at memorable past, knowing the life we once knew was lived fully and complete. The feeling of contentment and satisfaction, ready for God to cover us with winter’s white blanket of snow, for now all four cycles have been completed, but not ended. For come, spring comes the promise and it all begins anew, for life is a continuous cycle

Just as the four seasons we have accepted individually as a passage of our lives
