Changing

text around border reads:

The sky was perfect that day.
So was the company.
I had been here before...
but it was not like this.
I don't know why it had never
occured to me that,
like the leaves on trees,
the leaves of the vines
would turn so beautifully.
Little did I know that
I, too, would change that season.
