autumn

autumn leaves so bright will fall
sun softens so night may crawl
trees’ bare branches which show death
will be reborn - as will all

Every day I walk to church and notice how some trees keep their leaves, others do not.

It does seem they are dead, but we all know that most of them will be restored to the living come spring as will those who have died, body will meet with its spirit and the resurrection will happen. Sara K
