touching a breath of autumn – v2

tasting the leaves, the landscapes
the tableau of autumn
drinking the sunsets, the horizon lines,
the palette of another season
breathing in the oranges
candy apple, cinnamon,
maroon, slices of yellows,
as the seasons change
touching a breath of autumn
on the breeze
captured in my lens
shared on the ether
for others to breathe in
to drink the autumnal colors
to feel and believe

touching a breath of autumn
opening prayer about change of seasons,
how green is not the leaves’ true colors
&
Children’s message – mystery box
-          green maple leaf and a colored maple leaf
-          the green color of the leaves is not the true color
-          this is the color we have when we are being fed
-          nurtured in the spring and summer with the Word;
-          we shine our true colors in autumn
-          sharing our true color with God and the world
-          staying close to God
-          each an individual
-          shining the colors of Christ
