The Autumn Party

THE TREES REACH FOR THEIR MOST FESTIVE WARDROBE,

PUTTING ON THEIR COLORFUL BEST.

IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE THE COMPLETION OF THEIR SUMMER LABORS

OF ENTERTAINING BEES AND BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES.

THE LAST LEAF DROPS, THE ROOTS ARE EXCITED AND

CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF THE SLUMBER PARTY.

THE REMAINING VIBRANCE MOVES THROUGH THE VEINS AND INTO THE ROOTS

ON ITS JOURNEY TO THE UNDERWORLD.

LISTEN CAREFULLY, THE MINERAL KINGDOM VIBRATES WITH THEIR FINEST JEWELS.

THE SPIRITS OF THE UNDERWORLD ARE PREPARING THEIR FEAST.

THE INSECTS RUSH LIKE CATERERS TO ARRIVE ON TIME,

SCURRYING AROUND THE ACORNS BURIED BY THE SQUIRRELS AND CHIPMUNKS.

THE WATER TABLE BRINGS THE DRINKS

AND THE LEAVES OF THE PAST ARE THE ELEGANT TABLECLOTH OF NOURISHMENT.

THE LOWER WORLD IS NOW IN ITS TIME AND PLACE OF EXHILARATION AND FESTIVITIES.

BULBS BOUNCE AND ROOTS DANCE TO THE HEARTBEAT OF GAIA.

 MAN SLEEPS IN HIS DISTORTED TRUTH

AND WALKS THE WORLD WITH IGNORANCE OF THE EXCITEMENT UNDERNEATH
