Harvest
Beautiful colors, so many colors do I see...
Maple leaves fall and autumn fragrances now
fill the air. Trees now prepare for a long
winters nap. The ground now all covered in
fresh colors of trees that have lost their
foliage and gone into a deep slumber... Yet
have we toiled in the hot sun all summer and
now it is time to harvest our labor. We
rejoice by breaking bread and filling our
bellies with the fruits of our harvest.
Winter now infringing upon our door
step. As bears surrender to nature’s
tranquilizer and crawl into their hiding
spaces for their long winters nap. Doeth not
the fruits of our labor endure until another
harvest comes and once again when nature puts the bear
back into a deep, deep sleep, while others wait to
see what sales the news paper will bring?
Some say the harvest is the end, but it’s
really just the beginning.
