Notes About The Poem

In Silence

In Silence

Sighing, gales vibrate, release the dance
Between avid oak in crimson hues -
Delicate golds, amber and carroty red
Maples delicate muse, autumn stillness, hush
Erasing the summer, quieting…
	The sunlight whispers raining down
		In silence, pretty secrets
			Perfect reminiscences

Whispering, gentle breeze, reflecting the shadows
Brought to life, silhouettes breathless, echoing
Peace inspired by the embrace of vibrant colors
Inspirations so alive, thriving in pulsating lights
Saying a quick goodbye to the past
	Where still, cool waters smile liquid laughter
		Stirring the promises entwined
			Knit together like prayers
				Prayed by hearts

Who know that this season, harvest time, autumn
Brings wisdom, insights into the wonders murmured
Like endless pleas for the kindness, the creativity
His hand brings to the world He crafted from naught
Spoken into existence by His voice, His utterance
	Expressions of beautiful, awakened
		To the miracle of creation, the design
			Brought to life by His light
				The wonder of His thought

Because I know Him, my Savior, my Maker
Autumn feels like the imagination adorned
With blushing tones of compassion, charity
Sensitive words lasting in pages, scriptures
Portraying the riches of His splendor – His mystery
	The answer to every prayer lies there
		Amid the verses, the poetry and promise
			Like falling leaves, in silence
				His love abides, grace inspired…

By the One I know as real love, real hope, real life
Savior of the world – redeemer of the heart and soul
Deliverer of the spirit who looks to Him and believes
In a love that is alive and can only be received
By those who know Him intimately, trusting
	His gift of grace – His book’s answers
		His forever in heaven
			His eternity, the blessing
				Freedom, forgiveness…

A reason to listen – in silence,
	To His guidance!
