The Golden Weave

In lands of lofty mountain peaks 
God deftly weaves the Aspen trees
through evergreens, with spires high
in crisp, thin air over clear blue skies.

Upon His loom yellow leaves are spun
like fine gold threads until they’re done
a golden weave of shimmering shock
sunlight flashes through dark forest stock. 

We who believe are like golden trees
where the light of Truth can be received 
by those who wander in forests blind
unable to see the Truth defined. 

From the Vine the Spirit spreads
through intricate roots, connecting threads
of hope and peace, from darkness to light 
from sin to redemption and glory bright.

Wow, Laura what a powerfully exquisite poem! Having lived in Colorado and experienced the Aspen turning each fall, I can relate very well to the scenes you so vividly described. From mountains to heavenly spendor, this one has it all. Blessings to you!

We are in Colorado right now, Tom, at the Maroon Bells near Aspen. Such spectacular country! I wanted to make a spiritual observation here. Glad you liked this! Thank you for your kind comments!
