October Reflections Premiere Contest Winner

October approaches with sharp bursting color
	that awes senses with majesty.
	Cool winds blow with vitality
and I become God’s most reverent extoller.

October conducts a symphony of feeling
	that uplifts and inspires my heart.
	I implore my soul to impart
my full obedience in prayerful kneeling.

October caresses the spirit and essence
	of my being, and I am humbled.
	From earthly existence tumbled
a moment, I humbly bow in acquiescence.

October promises the coming of the harvest
	that this year’s scattered sowing brings.
	The worker’s voice in the field sings
impassioned praises to Him for this bounty blessed.

My heart is filled with the miracle of it all,
	and the divine revelation
	that I am of His creation.
I pray I transform and worthy of His Last Call.
