The Fall |
From sun spent trees
Shed their grace
Down to the ground
Falling
Sweeping
Twirlings and twistingsAll around
To the bevy
Of vegetation’s fertile
Bearing seedlings
Basking upon the earth’s floor
Awaiting the crisp blanketingOf Fall’s brisk refrain
Cascading flutter-flies
Under the skies
Bright in the sunlight
Breathing in the beauteous bounty
In the feathery show pieces
Dancing in the wind beckoning
Them leaveTheir pinnacle
And embrace
The face hidden
On the surfaced wellspring
The falling leaves
Drift about
As a song
For a lady
Planted on the banks of the river
Sounding melancholy and kinda
blue
They sail too
On wings of a doveWoven in coats of the many colors
Of the seasonal hue
Rustic browns and tainted tansMorning yellows and sunset golds
Bold reds and pumpkin oranges
Peak-a-boo pinks
Shadowing violet speckled in-laids
With olive and lemon peels
Changing in the brush
Sitting among the greens
Falling through
Dressed pines
And times
Of pasts and comingsOf the harvest
From summer’s crossing over
To the other side
Like the rushing tides
Who stemFrom the deep
To speak
To the story
Of the Master in His glory
Painting the day
From the Kingdom Hall
This glorious season
We call
The Fall.

“Let Your work (the signs of Your power)
Be revealed in Your servants,
And Your glorious majestyTo their children.
And let the beauty and delighfulness and favor
Of the Lord our God be upon us;
Confirm and establish the work of our hands –
Yes! The work of our hands,
Confirm and establish it.” Ps. 90:16-1

Amazing!!! I love it! No words!

You have a gift. You hit all the senses. And it explodes with color and positivity. I love the coat of many colors reference. Way to keep it in the God's sight. And thank you for sharing it. It's such a blessing to know you. There are so many lonely people out there that have a friend sharing gifts with them. Thank you Ruth
