Leaves are falling;
Autumn,
the welcomed Season after
Summer.
Depressing heat is left behind
Children are now ensconced in weekly school educational activities
Parents sigh
Life settles into a daily routine – 
‘tho not always less hectic;
no resting time.
Autumn…time for tropical storms.
Coastlines in the Caribbean, Atlantic, Gulf now prepare
to keep alert of all weather forecasts in area.
Hurricane winds, rains change much too quickly.
Yet life depends not on disasters coming our way,
but on living.
