The Chameleon I did so love the greens of meadows and'torests, The yellows and pinks of the rainbow, The fragrances of Summer's sweet prosperity. But Fall is only sorrow, The end for so much, The beginning 'for so little, Colors of death come creeping, How subtle 'be the changing, How silent be the secrets, Sorrowfully, Silently, Subtly, Comes Fallt Diana Marshall Analogy to Life The sea is silent still and silent, As theinight comes over itheeyes of thedeep, Silence envelopes the undulating peaks, A cool breeze covers thetclear-ice waters. Thermoon silvers the curlstof the waves. lt sleeps. The cacophonous cries of the gull, Awaken the sea from its sleep. The sun covers it with aiveil of beauty and enchantment With tit, it.brings the breeze. The palms swish, the waves break on the shore. It awakens. There is but the surface. What of the secret, silent Depths below? What is under the surface? ls it dangerous? lstit false? ls it treacherous? Yes, what of the secret, silent world? Are not people the same? -Louise James Mrs. Morris presents Diana Mar- shall her award.
