kneeling

everything i saw
that morning

seemed to take a knee

in protest?
no

in awe, it seemed

(believing that nothing
was deserved or earned)

leaves gave way
to autumns breeze

mums bent low

and even the strongest
boughs

bowed down

to kiss
the darkened
fertile

ground


"The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship"
                                             ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Pride is about my glory; humility is about God's glory."  ~Mark Driscoll

that day

it was gray 

that day

rain fell

in fits and

starts

leaves fell too

silently swirling

to the damp

dark ground

just maybe 

i had found my way

to the old neighborhood 

because people in my life

were falling too

bravely

quietly

gently

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”~Ansel Adams

What a beautiful day, that day was. I wish you could have seen the color, and the light. Hoping this image will give you a glimpse of what it was like.
