How beautiful you are!
I am in awe of the boldness of your color
and the countless number of your leaves.
I love the contrast of your flaming orange
and your deep dark bark,
and the wide blanket
of color that has fallen around you.
and the wide blanket
of color that has fallen around you.
What touches my heart
is knowing that your golden bounty
will soon fall away
leaving you bare, stately
and vulnerable as winter draws near.
You too, know the reality and power of change.
I am reminded as I behold you,
to take the time to absorb and enjoy
your magnificence
in all its majesty
in each precious moment
rather than
dismissing you
before your time.
You help me to understand
and appreciate
the gift of the NOW
Enjoy what is before you,
while you have it.
Help me to slow down
and take the time
to See and Enjoy.
while you have it.
Help me to slow down
and take the time
to See and Enjoy.
