Autumn Flower


a rare fall flower

does not know the winter waits

her faith in full bloom


Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

Autumn Butterfly

he came to encourage us

after the hard freeze


In memory of Coach K.

Autumn Candle


steady cold Fall rain

wind-driven on the window

a still candle burns


Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Still 2.0

sometimes in silence

uncrowded words speak the best

solitude and rest


line two was inspired by Matthew Richardson, writer of fine short stories and a fellow micro poet.

The Fall and Rise


sunshine and stained glass

dried up drifted leaves aglow

God redeems The Fall


But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.

Alone


*solitary hawk

on the second day of fall

his family, flown


When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

Psalm 27:10 (KJV)

* The Mississippi Kite is a small hawk which lives and hunts in families. These birds arrive in our area every Spring, when insects are plentiful, and fly south the next Fall, when their food supplies dwindle. The bird in the photo must be too old, sick, or injured to join his family, who left for South America about two weeks ago.

as the summer fades

the red oak leaf and acorns

expect renewal

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)
