On the tree-lined street

blazing, brilliant golds and reds

rising harvest moon

silhouettes the hungry hawk

tomorrow, the hunt


But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently

A Young Tree’s First Fall

Had you heard about the fall?

So little. So much!


A working man may or may not have enough to eat, but at least he can get a good night’s sleep. A rich man, however, has so much that he stays awake worrying.

Ecclesiastes 5:12 (GNT)

The “Friend Finder”

As the boats sail by,

each of us is an island.

Will they come ashore?


A man who has friends must show himself friendly, and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Just how much longer

will the changing leaves stay green?

End. Begin again.

Sturdy wild flowers.

Do you ever contemplate

how soon comes the fall?

Life is Fragile

thick smoke on the hill

means the wildfires rage unseen

and so too in life


All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.

God gives each of us colors
