Notes About The Poem

Soul Limbs

The crunch of leaves beneath my feet
Murmur of hope, a whisper in the shadows
Growl of a rainstorm, howl of wind,
Clap of thunder rolling across the midnight
Skies, blessing, confessing all the wonder
An evening filled with the beauty and laughter
The inspiration of nature’s bounty, breathing
Through the crackle of her turbulent voice

Autumn sighs, a hush so beautiful, graceful
Like the imagination when it smashes through
The everyday, to kindle a fire, awful desire
For the glory of September, the splendor in
October, November… as they rumble, smash
Through the oaks and pines, stirring the chatter
Brought to life in the soul who knows that light
Rouses the silence to conspire with gentleness,
Caress the feelings with Autumn’s innocence
A wisdom, whimper of the heart’s harvest,
The melancholy of a darkness echoing creativity

Listen to the music of His light, pouring out 
Across the navy blue night… to guide us all
To the serenity that is bold like the pop of a branch
Who startles the one listening for love to unfold
Amid the boughs of pure gold, the limbs of the soul!
