Dear Tradition,
Our opinions differ, but that’s okay it’s an important human characteristic.
However, you often draw a line in the sand to express yours. You dare me to cross it, brace for a rouse, and are surprised at my reaction.
I walk away towards the future leaving you standing behind your line in the sand as the flood tide of time washes in to erase it.
Sincerely,
Progress
As an evening sun
paints the sky
in regal splendor
before its slumber
these Japanese maples
light our yard
in autumn grandeur
as leaves tumble.
