Oh my, mercy me
Tonight it ends
No more are we
Saving daylight
Standard will be
Courting darkness
Daylight will flee
And hide away
Til it’s set free
In the Springtime

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

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

To the sounds of the universe

Watches as I twirl amid

,
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”

Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life
Syllabic Verse
#OctPoWriMo Day 16

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

Life has no awol
Large, Medium, or Small
Change visits all
