Autumn
– Br. Michael, ofm
The air has shifted
a refreshing coolness
time to take note
feel the change
an invitation
In this season
deep color schemes of leaves
warm morning skyscapes
busy harvesting squirrels
focused bird formations
an invitation
Autumn
your invitation
like an embrace
surrounds me with goodness
causes me to ponder
awakens me to moments
to be present
to appreciate
to dwell
to breathe it all in.
The goodness of God meeting me.
For Mom and For Carol
