Farewell Summer— Welcome Fall

As the sun is full of light, the ocean full of water; heaven full of glory. So may my heart be full of thee.

A Puritan Prayer

 Farewell Summer—Welcome Fall

 By Elece Hollis

Beside a country road,

I found a letter from summer there

You can't miss it; it's everywhere

Sweet and mellow
Singing her goodbye

Nodding—swaying in the wind

 Yellow notes of a fading song

Composed on the fragile sunlight and air,

Notice she leaves us

A note  behind wishing

Farewell to another summer

Welcome fall.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, 

and my soul, which You have redeemed. 

Psalm 71:23

Autumn in the Air

Between the rails of the garden fence

Leaves have lodged to peaceful sleep

The winter through, quiet, waiting,

For spring rain and warm sun

To replace them on the branches overhead

 And grant them leave to

Return to the soil.

Pink, Red, White

Apple,

Your pink satin holds a

Blush of deep red and

Traces of spring's pale green.

Apple,

Your red dress hides 

Underclothes laceless

Over flesh of snowy white.

Apple,

Your inner core holds

Treasures of future trees in

Brown capsules of seeds.
