Vicarious Autumn Experience
Inexperienced of Fall Season’s delight
my vision through virtual learning venture
beholds God's wondrous artwork at its height
displaying color-changes of nature.
I do see radiant Autumn’s beauty
as glowing leaves of magenta prevail
midst boughs of crimson and scarlet bounty
yield toward pale russet or auburn’s hail.
Witnessing foliage so magnificent
my soul praises the mighty Creator
for phenomenon that’s iridescent
declaring that He’s Sovereign Director.
Though devoid of actual genuine Fall’s enrichment
I thank the Lord for His rich blessings’ best
in my country’s two-season fulfillment
where He offers me sweet peace and bliss’ nest.
Hence, in my “Autumnless” exposure state
I find serenity of faith-prop in Christ’s warm embrace
lifting me when I fall, drawing me toward fellowship date
revived for reaching-out pursuits with His love and grace.*
*1Timothy 1:14 …The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
