I'm Feeling a Bit Sentimental

It's natural to change.


There is a beautiful tree near my dorm. 
It was nothing really special when I first got here.
 It was just a normal tree. 
Brown. Green. Bark. Squirrels. 
Then autumn showed up and changed the tree.
It is now sheltered by the most magnificently yellow leaves.  The ground below it, once dead grass, is now covered with a lovely yellow dusting.  You can't even see past the brilliance of the leaves to the dead ground.  I suppose this splendor was in the tree all along, but it took time to reveal the truth of it's nature.


Before you look away, look again. 

Time reveals the unexpected.
