Before you strip the trees of all their color,
before the branches shed their fallish frocks,
take out your brush once more and camouflage my life...
Blend me in and hide me in the colors all around,
clothe me in a jacket dyed blood red:
fall's final affirmation, autumn's triumph,
nature signing as the artist on all the work you've done,
your promise of sweet victory over every season's passing...
Paint me in the scene and help me see within
the beauty all around me: leafy shades of autumn's life
falling, bleeding late October tones
on the palette of my soul...
Camouflage my life in hues of grace
and blend me into your embrace as my heart sheds
its autumn mood and looks to winter's coming
with its gray and shorter days...
Clothe my soul in blood red love
and plant some seeds of hope within my heart
where they might sleep 'til light and warmth
once more will wake and rise to bloom,
a springtime of your glory...
Amen.
