Fall Reflecting

Leaves of liquid gold and fire red
hang with tenacity
from quickly emptying branches
waiting until it is their turn to
gracefully let go and fall.

I look to the trees
and see a time of winding down,
of slowing to deep rest.

I hear God's gentle call
to let go of the busy
to let go of the need
to do more,
to be more.

I hear God's voice reminding me
that I to need seasons of
letting go,
seasons of deep rest.

Fall is my circle of life reminder
to let go,
to rest.

It is my season of
already and not yet.

It is my winding down
to simple breath
and being.

It is my Holy and wholly season.
Where I catch my breath
and find my
already and not yet.

Thanks be to God.
AMEN.
