Whispers of Autumn

Crackling leaves, amber and gold Crunch beneath my feet, silencing the cold Vibrant hues in grace arising, twisting My thoughts, reflecting each memory, each Blessing… Crisp laughter – oaks chuckling, pines whispering Amused by the hilarity of a cool September rain Blessing the soul with forlorn prayers, praises Raising hopes, encouraging dreams, stirring Promises to always breathe… and believe – He is with me, protecting me, accepting me Gentling hearts, harvesting dreams, secrets Mysteries untroubled, kissing the cobalt skies With inspirations, creativity so bold and brilliant There is a stirring within, where my senses tremble Echoing the faith that lifts me from the dark days He guides me, encouraging and inviting me To listen to His kindness, the light That brings me serenity Sincere wonders, arouse in me Longing for the moments when the fires of autumn Whisper faith through the silence, murmuring hope Joy that is like the most tender touch – caressing the spirit With a trembling hand, shaky from the intimacy that quiets Darkness, doubt and dread… lifts the soul out of the past Permanently rejecting the long ago sins for the treasure The fortune of the present, where there is grace Freeing every fear from its despair, its reluctance to listen To the wisdom that rains down on those who know Him The answer – spoken by autumn and all the seasons, each precious Whisper hushing the suspicion and exciting the certainty, the belief He is with me – He lives within me – He has breathed His love into my spirit, where I will forever Praise and pray – through every doubt, That this love never lets me go one moment alone, without Him The Savior who created me, blessed me and waited for me to finally Believe so deeply that I know He will never leave me Each whisper of Autumn rouses me to the wonder of knowing Through it all, whatever comes my way… through winds that leave Dancing leaves in their wake, through quiet prayers and each step That I take, there is love that is more alive, more amazing, more Pleasing than anything else I’ve ever known… It is His grace that leaves me sure that – like autumn realizes… With each whisper of a leaf falling, there is only the promise That death isn’t the end at all… passing into the hereafter – I know I’ll fall straight into the awaiting arms of One Who will bring me eternal peace and love! With each whisper of Autumn I glimpse the awesome love From God, who sent this beautiful season – who sent His Son Despite having every reason to leave us without a hope! I’m thankful that I know the One who is the maker of Autumn and LOVE
