“Hunker Down For Fall” by Cindy Georgakas

Let the wind blow your troubles to greener pastures, where seeds of love are sown to cleanse and renew so you begin anew. Not tomorrow but today.

Friends huddle together to purge, gather and sleep preparing for falls’ abundance of seasonal change, knitted in warmth for darker days ahead.

Bring the light inside where flowers bloom colors of hope as we tuck ourselves in and hunker down and drink from the moon where metamorphosis begins.
