in spite of what surrounds us
whatever circumstances are
we learn to find peace
within ourselves
regardless of what\'s
going on around us,
learning to self-soothe
kind of thing and find
we all come through
to the other side, strong
persons we\'ve missed;
our friendships through
a new season approaching
and a sense begins to form
that peace rising up from
inside the very core of you!
and it\'s a happy moment
this first day of autumn
here, although summer
is quite happily overstaying
so colours are changing
and the breeze is blowing
face the horizon, your hair
a banner waving, highlights
in sun beams, catch and shine
