Rustling Leaves

rains in libation sweet yesternight

upon awakening all held in morning light

magical be the light and shadow upon the tree

when the leaves in splendor of gold jeweled be

such gems of grace Autumn lovingly does bring

listen, listen, rustling leaves in soft winds sing.

In the Embrace of the Warming Sun…

The offerings of this day onto thee

Brilliant be the sun on the towering tree

Gems of color in glorious array to behold

Crimson, gold, russet, emerald, amber, Autumn’s story told 

Birds in flight, their sweet song now be heard

Known be Creation’s Love, Creation’s WORD

Fluttering leaves to blanket the ground

As above, so below,  gifts of grace be they found.

...to see the marvelous...

"The invariable mark of wisdom is to

see the miraculous in the common."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

the marvel of a golden leaf to fall

from that mighty tree bold and tall

the lilting melody of the song bird

within the love of heart be heard

these gifts of season and time

such be blessings of the divine

it is with grace and ardent PRAISE

that we endow our hallowed days.

Bloom

Known be the Creator's vow
Bloom upon branch and bough
This a towering and rooted tree
Leaf and light in majesty BE.

The Sigh Of Fall

The sigh of Fall
A flower yet in bloom
A tree in color array
Reflections
All of nature's beauty
Within you
Season of change
Hues and tones
To temper time
You
Nature
The Creator's mind divine.

Secret Tree

Secret tree, a cloak of nature's wile

Blanketing the light you hold
What secret do you harbor in hues of green
Reflections upon still waters seen
Dipping deep at water's edge
I step beneath your bough
Your secret kept shall be my vow
I listen to what you have heard
And hear I the whispers of THE WORD.
