From our back yard…
October 18th
Autumn slips in
as the turning leaves fall
and the wind whips them
into fluid art forms
on my driveway.
I’m caught off guard
by the sudden romp from August’s humidity and mosquitos
to October’s football games and mulled cider.
Changes…
It seemed to happen so fast…
When I look back
I can see the gentle work
of cooler nights and shorter days.
I see the progression,
the subtle slide
from growth and harvest
to rest and renewal.
Changes…
Glorious!
Showing the Creator’s splendor,
the passage of time,
and the new life to come.
