It’s Life wrapped up in one season
Beginning with pleasant temperatures. and leaves looking their finest
turning stunning shades of radiant colors Enticing one to go out and enjoy.
In the back of our minds knowing all things must end.
Summer’s heat and humidity have waned
And Life is as it should be
Colorful, enjoyable, our windows open to the cool breezes
Shrieks of laughter from the streets.
Children, Normalcy.
In a wink of the eye things seem to be changing
We don a jacket or sweater ... just in case.
Our lights are turned on earlier
The children are called in because “it’s getting dark”
When just a month ago the sun had not yet set.
Is the world getting darker, colder
or is it just imagination?
Those brilliant red and orange leaves are shedding
And the tree is beginning to thin out
Until it is bare, or is it bald?
It’s suddenly looking much older as its aged bark is now in full view.
Out of the blue a strong wind and rains upset our contentment
And we scurry away from the fireplace to the yard to gather up our summer chairs, gardening tools,
And put the bikes away hoping we still have Time to again ride and have fun.
Some of us do,
others don’t.
It’s late Autumn
And that’s the nature of the season
And our lives.

Dutch Still Life paintings are not only paintings of pretty food or flowers; each depicted object usually has a complex meaning. Berries like cherries and strawberries were reflections of the souls of men and were considered the fruits of paradise.
