Christ Every Day
The leaf shredded and dead Wiggles in the wind The winter chill dawns Casting its shadows on what's left of Fall In my lungs I breathe What seems clean Unfiltered, unaffected by the world Oh it is His work Sent to meet me As I walk along His street Under gray cloud cover A brightness … Continue reading Christ Every Day
Autumn’s Song
An Autumnal hymn Suspends A morning chill Not frigid Invigorates At the earlier break Of dawn Mother deer Lead their fawn To the berries at forest's edge Squirrels stuff their cheeks As they reach for more Tentative Yet An ever slight increase Seasonal momentum Leaves fallen So brittle Disintegrate Beneath your feet The night today … Continue reading Autumn’s Song
The Tree, She Knows
Baring her soul Selfish dreams Oversized goals Float to the ground Grip released Her holy letting go ~~~ May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father … Continue reading The Tree, She Knows

Watching Autumn
Such vibrance Speaking boldly Of their Creator's brilliance His beauty in death For us, a languid letting go A humble observance of Fall ~~~ Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds (John … Continue reading Watching Autumn
The Hope in Fall
Leaf after leaf Falling Brittle Crackled Piled Soon to be raked Swept Away Decay Some trees rejuvenate Clinging to green Springing hope The time to be sprung Back to life Seasons tell us things Only Jesus, the Word brings Joy from pain Strength from sorrow Renews our tomorrows In life and death His breath Never … Continue reading The Hope in Fall
The Coming of Fall
Warmed apples Baked just right A touch of cinnamon so very slight Coffee steam, a pleasing sight Small comforts to us Grow in meaning When we focus On His being Gods plan and purpose For every woman and man Yes, He knows you Every bitter cup stewed And poured Every time you stood After the … Continue reading The Coming of Fall
