Once again
Autumn visits us
Abounding
In color
Leaves fall at her entrance
Blushing from her touch
Shadorma
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. —Albert Camus

Leaves falling, roses
Still clinging to summer’s warmth,
Utter grand encore
Haiku

November winds blow
And leaves huddle together
Raindrops falling fast
Haiku

Beauty
In the brown and gold
Tears for times
Past when we
Young and verdant without care
Lived the high life
Shadorma

Dressed in flaming red
Standing tall, yet she weeps for
The warm days of summer
Haiku

Through the open door they dance
Inhibitions unlocked
Freely they fling
Flashes of color
Detached, moving with abandon
Come to rest at my feet
I gape at the beauty of the leaves of Fall
Come to entertain me
On this windy day.

,
Do you see the real me
Beneath the heavenly skies
Leaf covered path
On my daily walk I pass by and over so many fallen leaves, some noticeable, some not. Some freshly fallen are filled with beautiful colors while some are withered, lifeless, or hidden beneath others.
It causes me to think that they are like many of us in this world. Some of us are more noticeable than others, perhaps more lively, active or attractive while others might be older, less active, or perhaps feel insignificant or hidden because they are covered in worries or burdens.
Just like the many leaves they may wonder if anyone sees the real them.
But the truth is that God does.
He sees us all, for that is one of His names.
In Genesis 16:13 it says “So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are ‘God who sees,’ because I have truly seen the one who looks after me.”
Hagar was a runaway who was alone in the wilderness with her child, she figured no one cared about her and she thought she and her son were going to die—alone….but God saw her and He spoke to her and helped her.
Matthew 10:29 says that not even a sparrow falls to the earth without God knowing about it, so I am thinking it must be the same for leaves and people too. He sees us all.
Everbody matters
For the clear truth is written
He’s “God who sees me”

Once prominent
A vibrant crown of glory
Rustling and bustling
Sheltering new life on high
And offering shade
Now a colorful blanket
Looked down upon
Trampled without thought, deemed useless
Until wind carries them away
Choka

Sometimes
Change comes slowly
Gradually
Bit by bit
Other times it’s sudden
But it always comes
Shadorma

October appears
Yellow stars fall at her feet
Fall Fashion Show starts
