My Journey to God

Autumn Beauty

Leaves litter the cooling ground,
The birds fall silent at last.
Summer is fully and truly gone,
The sun but a ghost of the past.
Yet I revel in this starkness,
The beauty surrounding me still,
The absence of one thing reveals another.
That’s the essence of life distilled
In the stark, cold, autumn valley
Beneath the slumbering hills,
Where I feel the presence of God
Surrounding and loving me still.
