Session of Out On the Porch
Heavy frost has touched the leaves and ground
Elephant Ears are frozen brown
Pears profusely lay upon the ground
Not turned into preserves or spice jam
Gourds are hanging green upon vines
That have died and turned brown
Signs of winter approach without a sound
Ginko still green even though frost coats it leaves
Holly stands tall with red berries in green
Crow still caws from post in woods
Life goes on even if not understood
The Running Rose hangs loaded with buds and blooms
When the sun warms the air will the Rose still bloom
Or will they all turn brown on their lovely face
And then fall to the ground
No they were spared this round
Out on the cold, cold porch
To commune with nature and God
One more time for this time of praise
One more time for this time of peace
