Calendar Sage

Calendar Sage
David J Walker 

The time has come to
Turn the page

The calendar sage 
has spoken

It is autumn 
	And the garden 

Takes one last look at
The sky 

That might try 
one last time

To rain 
Its seeds remain well hidden 

Think of me when
	The first shoots breakthrough

A frosty crusted grave of 
A long fallow winter

God’s fertile Earth
Blessed with the rebirth 

of Spring
