milk weed

The monarchs have long flown

and the plants have dulled,

but the seeds are lifted on an autumn wind

carrying the promise

of more spring,

more plants,

more butterflies.

sunday afternoon walk

Sunday worship can be continued along a trail,

talking, reflecting and sharing.

After having heard and read the Word

letting nature speak of God's glory.

hint of snow

The rain drops belong to yesterday,

today temperatures dictates a hint of snow.

The air is crisp and clear

and even I can relish the promise of white.

rain drops

morning

A setting full moon is worthy of pursuit

on a crisp autumn morning.

Eager children climb into the van

to catch a glimpse before it sinks.

When horizon clouds hid it from sight

we decided on an early morning walk,

residual frost nipping at toes and fingers

and the early morning sunshine warming our spirits.

hidden colours

When you look for it

there is always colour,

even in this season

when you think that the countryside is bereft.

We had a wonderful walk today,

children, friends of children

and us, two friends.

Children walking and exploring trails

we talking and exploring trails of thoughts.

God provides us friends

to help us in the pursuit of knowledge of Him.

Thoughts reflected, ideas defined

dreams given substance.

stripped

Perhaps when stripped bare

the light shines through best.
