October - A becoming

An Acrostic poem about time, reflection, and the promise of another beginning

On the threshold of change, I pause and breathe,

Collecting memories like colours on autumn leaves.

Time awaits patiently of all what I have yet to be,

Old hopes awaken, setting something free.

Beneath the fading light, new paths appear,

Each ending holds a beginning drawing near.

Renewed by the seasons, I welcome what is here.
