Pause for Prayer: SATURDAY 10/24

 

There's something different, Lord,

these crisp October days

- something different in the sunshine...

 

Old Sol, up in the sky, 

assumes an arced autumnal angle, 

warming a true lustrous glow 

on branches brushed with beauty,

on leaves alive in light 

no summer's green could ever match...

 

The light's above, Lord,

but I would swear the leaves are glowing 

from within...

 

In my reverie, the trees,

still warm with sun soaked in from August skies,

now turn heavenward, 

offering up a psalmody 

of color, light and shadows...

 

Could it be, Lord?  Can it be 

that summer's warmth and light are rising still, 

in praise of you, their maker?

 

Driving down long, arbored roads 

I find the glow is here and there, 

not everywhere and -well, of course! 

it's the evergreens -

backdrop for October's gift, 

of glowing leafy finery...

Your light's above and all around,

from every angle shining

and from deep within me, warming

to the depths of who I am...

 

I join the prayers of trees and leaves 

and lift to you a psalm to praise 

the beauty you reveal, Lord, 

the beauty that you are… 

 

There's something different, Lord,

these crisp October days, 

- something different in the sunshine...

 

And for this - I give you thanks...

 

Amen.
