(((Conundrum))) Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

I was sandwiched in between days of Fall...
While the Worlds classroom learned...
Covered in a pile of rotten leaves-uninciteful! ! !
Soon to be placed in a bonfire to burn;

Helpless-so-utterly-helpless-i screamed...!
Though the brisk Northern wind drowned me out...
Caught in a most distressing circumstance...
And filled to the crisp with doubt;

Around me the self-blazing Mums continued to grow-
Why-they just seemed to October thrive!
But i was helplessley sanwiched between Fall days...
With each hour-feeling less alive;

Fearful of the bonfire soon to be set...!
And the not too far off Winter cold...
I prayed to the Light to help in my fight...
And for release into the Sweet Autumns Gold;

Miracle of miracles came after my heart felt prayer-
For the now calmed wind-it set me free...
Out into the open earth and into the Worlds classroom...
That is now where you can find me;

For it is better late than never...
To learn about this life that we live...
One season away-from final decay
With still so much to give;
