Notes About The Poem

Autumnal Concerto and Inner Symphony

           
                   10/17/2023



Along a winding lane of glowing orange
leaves, I leisurely strolled.
Thinking of years past,which, like a sudden, 
strong wind, blew in cyclonic tunnels away.

Walking on crunchy leaves, I pondered my
virtues and daunting human failings.
In the stillness of that autumn morning dew,
hugged by loving trees that were encircling me.

Knowing that in God's hands, I was created 
to follow all His laws, to live with angelic joy.
The crunchy concerto of heavenly, colorful leaves 
beneath my warm, thankful, booted feet.

~I longed for the day, the face of my God to see! ~

Nice seasonal description, Pangie. It seems that a change of season is quite spiritual, once we reflect. It seems too that it was a seen made by god.

Hello David, the concept of a higher power is a big no-no these days . But who does humanity think created all of us, and the beauty and the seasons? Some poets think because they can write a poem that they are gods. I don’t think so. I am watching the sunset on the very ungrateful world..a vacuous, prideful one. Humility goes a long way and creates, a world of art. And awesome-wonder …thanks, Pangie xx.

Gershon, I was thinking back to my days in Elmwood Park, Illinois mostly. There were tons of leaves, yes crunchy. And lots of raking to do, that doesn’t happen here to that extent. It’s still warm here. Yes! Pangie xx

Yes, Victor! It’s a sad state when we follow the laws ov man, not God. And it can be seen clearly His commandments are disgraced, by many in our world. This maybe the end times. God s watching o er His sheep….thank you. Pangie xx
