Just Starting – Fall’s Colors!!

Here are just a few pictures I was able to get yesterday on our beautiful Greenway system. It’s a paved walkway next to a river here in our city. I live in the south, Middle Tennessee, and the trees, with the right conditions, turn such beautiful colors. It’s only getting started with the first yellows and reds beginning. I hope you enjoy these and your own fall wherever you live. Have a God blessed day!!

Autumn’s Flames

I was blessed enough to be able to ride my bike today on our Greenway System along the river and see some of the leaves on the trees starting to change colors. Even though it was a little cloudy they were still beautiful! Wrote a quick poem about it and hope you enjoy.

Autumn Flames

Fiery flames
Never meant to be contained
Mixed among the greens
The cooler colors
Still your sisters, brothers
Meant to complement one another

Your warmer tones
Float over my head 
& I do not have to enjoy
Your beauty all alone
Others, they stop
Breezes, they blow
Carrying your leaves
To skip, to hop
Over each & every stone

So take some time
After you’ve finished my 
Pale rhyme
Enjoy your day
& take the time to stay
Caught in autumn’s 
Fiery flames!

Haiku -for Summer’s End

Haiku –at Summer’s End

Let me wear your name
     As once more your earth you trod
JESUS, Son of God!

Fall’s Gilded Girls

In between the hospital stay and now my husband’s rehab clinic stay, I found a few minutes to take photos and write another poem. I hope you enjoy these and have a very blessed day. Praise God!

Fall’s Gilded Girls

Fall’s gilded girls
All in a row
Why would one ever think
In you resides no soul?
Your curly locks
Bright splashes of color
Adorn your heads
As upon no others

Some look at you and
See merely trees
But from only one glance
I believe is seen
The Spirit, the Soul,
If you please,
Of the one who designed
Your bright glistens & gleams

With a powerful hand and 
With the greatest of glee
Your bright glories were created 
By our God for all to see 
And to know that they are truly loved
From His all-joyful Heaven up above
So for our pure pleasure it can be found
To be placed upon your yellowed brow 
The brightest of creation’s most golden of crowns

First Blushes

I am blessed enough to live in an area of the world where we have all four seasons. The first blushes of autumn are just beginning with a few reds, oranges and golds in the tree leaves. I hope everyone can enjoy their autumn. Have a great day. Praise God!

First Blushes

First blushes
Are like
First loves
Are 
Exciting
Tingling from your
Nose to your toes

Like a drug of
Exhilaration
So are nature’s
First blushes
As season’s change
Just a first glimpse
Introduction,
Anticipation
Of something
Beautiful yet
To come

So as autumn’s
First colors
Come out to play
They remind that
Life is here to stay
This is a whispered
Promise
Of even more joy
On the way

But why or 
Maybe,
Perhaps
Autumn dies in 
Such fiery glories
Of raging oranges, reds
& golds
Because it will be
God’s fiery intense love
That ends all the struggles
For man’s eternal soul
ushering out everything old

So, as angels begin to 
Sing
Of approaches of winter
Their voices remind us
Another re-creation
Awaits from God
Re-created New World,
End of all pain, strife
Suffering
As we look into the face
Of our Resurrected King
He announces the return
Of mankind’s new Spring!
