The awe of Autumn


Poem Artwork

It is Autumn

suddenly the leaves go insane

become so random

if only for a few days.

The view is transformed

as if overnight

an amazing display

so accurately timed.

Then as if instructed

by the conductor with his baton

the leaves fall to the ground

their display has finished

they are gone.

It something to inspire

to question

to admire,

to feel comfort in knowing

that though though much is wrong

a thread of normal

is still intact

holding on.

Pretty. The cycle of nature is comforting in our topsy-turvy world.

MOON, STARS, SEASONS, NIGHT, DAY...THE TWIRL OF THE EARTH ON ITS AXIS. THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES WHICH SUBSTANTIATE THE FACT; WHAT THE ALMIGHTY CONDUCTOR, GOD, HAS ORCHESTRATED IS HERE TO STAY...UNTIL 'HE' DEEMS IT FIT TO BE CHANGED. THE GORGEOUS SEASON OF AUTUM IS UPON US, INDEED! LOVE THE PHOTO. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
