In the Whispers of the Leaves

In the whisper of the leaves
the song of their colors
to speak a word of love
of the glory of God

The majesty of his creation
evident in the shimmering
the vivid leaves of autumn
right before their dying
in perfection, in beauty

Rising in the mists
the eternity beyond time
the spirit rising
up from the ground

All of us like the leaves
living on the earth
growing in the waters
the living waters of God
dying in our season
with Christ eternal birth
