FALL OFFERING
I think of trees
Fall approaches, are they ready?
Do they know? Can you ever
be prepared
for impermenance?
Leaves turn, clouds cover, peace comes.
They stand
with such grace
ready and willing.
Glistening with the
newness of color
brilliant red
shimmering gold
breathtaking orange
all shades in between.
Eyes look in
wonder
and tears shed
like leaves.
So brave, they change in front
of everyone.
No holding back!
We would have the same courage
if we knew we would shine as they do,
if we knew we would show that beauty.
Can we, though,
share their courage,
their grace
to shed that beauty and stand
bare and vulnerable?
Would you try to hide?
Or can you root and
ground and
open to your emptiness?
Even welcome it?
Can you ever
be prepared
for impermenance?
Maybe with an open heart.
Peace from my heart to yours,
Carrie
