touching a breath of autumn – v3

sipping the color, as sipping a cup of tea

tasting the leaves, the landscapes

the tableau of autumn

breathing in the oranges

candy apples, cinnamons,

the deeper shades,

the maroons, slices of yellows,

as the seasons change

touching a breath of autumn

a taste of the colors

captured in my lens

shared on the ether

for others to breathe in

how green is not the leaves’ true colors

-          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
