leave-taking


a leafless goodbye

to the blazing quilted sky

“I’m still here,” says God.


And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age

Jesus – Matthew 28:20b (NIV)

Autumn Observations


with hummingbirds gone

and no trees filled with bird song

almost leafless rain.


There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)

Assurance of Spring

Everybody falls.

And, by God’s grace, we return

like flowers in spring.


The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of God endures forever.

Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)

Change


Sturdy wild flowers.

Do you ever contemplate

how soon comes the fall?


“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)

Life is Fragile

Photo by Gary Fultz on Unsplash

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.

Isaiah 40:6,8

Pendulum

January

It is his first snow.

“Daddy, the ground is all gone!”

“Son, it will come back.”


June

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

Ecclesiastes 1:9; 3:11

Biting Wind


On the sleeping grass

the biting wind meets the leaves.

Tomorrow? Same thing.
