quieter than summer
waves gently washing
lapping the same shore
Echoes of winter
in the air, memory
soon to be frozen
as if for eternity
The changing of the seasons
life, evolving
seeking to aid, to comfort
ever the same, yet changing
Part of creation
God’s beauty
the calls of the geese,
a staccato of other voices
Calling to us, slowly
to center, in nature
the rhythm of the waves
gently pushing toward us
A palette of colors
every fall, the lake
in the season before dying
a wondrous statement it makes.
