Autumns Relent

As Autumn relents 
to the first Winter snow,
her golden leaf blankets 
are peaked in their glow.
A season of color
that's nearing her end, 
now passing the time
with her cold Winter friend.

The cool flowing waters
have frozen and stilled
and warm gentle breezes
have calmed with a chill.
Knowing her place
through the seasons of change 
in the cycle of life
the Lord God would arrange.

Autumn grows weary 
as slumber awaits
under golden leaf blankets
she rests in her fate.
Blessed is her sleep
as God tucks her away, 
beckoned to wake
on a warm Summer Day.

Autumn is flattered 
when friends call her Fall,
her season of thankfulness
calls to us all.
Like feathers we fall 
into Gods saving grace,
humbling hearts
as we seek for His face.

With Autumns relent
to the first Winter snow
and golden leaf blankets 
are peaked in their glow,
pray cold hardened hearts 
find the warmth of Gods peace
as their lifetime of seasons
will all too soon cease.

Daniel Turner January 28, 2016 at 4:40 PM I hope you don't mind me peeking, This is a beautiful write. I'm sure you really don't need verbal confirmation. As you wrote from your heart, your words were beautiful and true. You felt it when you were finished. That's why you posted it. There are many reasons people do not show their appreciation of such beauty and number 1 is egos, 2 jealousy need I go further. Daniel Turner January 28, 2016 at 6:08 PM it did however remind me of my poem entitled "Providence" I just went about it at a different angle. Regards, I put you as one of my favs so I could keep an eye on you. You express your thoughts magnificently. Good Luck in a brutal field of talent! Jeannie Cronin January 28, 2016 at 5:55 PM Wow Daniel, Thank you for such kind words of support. I have to admit, sometimes I do wonder?!?!?

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 14, 2016 at 8:42 PM Jeannie, your shift of subject is so smooth, lovely imagery and uplifting!~Olive ELoisa =`) Jeannie Cronin January 15, 2016 at 12:29 AM Thank you, Eloisa. I'm glad someone liked it. Sometimes it's really hard to tell. I think it would be great if this site had an anonymous thumbs up or down option when you post if you really want to know if people like your writes. So few seem to take the time to comment.
