early autumn snow
chills the aging apple tree
leaves briskly falling

good news of great joy
one cloudy autumn Sunday
sunlight through stained glass
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:10-11 (NIV)
through the morning mist
he walks across sodden leaves
into the silence
good till the last leaf
fall foliage painted dance
sky flutter carpet
wind rakes dusty leaves
across an empty courtyard
*constructive conflict
*If one intends to lead, they must bring their people along with them. Otherwise, it’s just a lonely walk.
the brisk autumn breeze
unwavering frigid rain
last leaf on the tree
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)
This haiku was inspired by the first song on Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, “Last Leaf on the Tree.” and “The Last Leaf,” a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes SR. and a short story called The Last Leaf, by O. Henry.
October flowers
are such a welcome surprise
almost overlooked
frosty capped apples
dripping in the morning sun
all in the same day
Don’t be afraid; just believe.
Jesus Christ, Mark 5:36 (NIV)
Come what come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day.
William Shakespeare, Macbeth
the moon would not shine
without support from the sun
ponder reflection
And we, who with unveiled faces reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV)
with green, red, and gold
the autumn leaves strike a pose
charm without envy
