As I was babysitting tonight I had to take Caleb out to walk around with him. I think he's teething so he's been extra fussy. But as I was walking around I was reminded of how God has blessed us with each season! Those of you who know me know that I'm an avid hater of fall and winter because it's cold and unfriendly. But tonight I realized that I'm kind of liking these season changes. Granted, I don't enjoy them...or even love them...but I'm really liking the obvious beauty in God's creation. So I looked around for a short fall poem...enjoy!
An Autumn Evening by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dark hills against a hollow crocus sky
Scarfed with its crimson pennons, and below
The dome of sunset long, hushed valleys lie
Cradling the twilight, where the lone winds blow
And wake among the harps of leafless trees
Fantastic runes and mournful melodies.
The chilly purple air is threaded through
With silver from the rising moon afar,
And from a gulf of clear, unfathomed blue
In the southwest glimmers a great gold star
Above the darkening druid glens of fir
Where beckoning boughs and elfin voices stir.
And so I wander through the shadows still,
And look and listen with a rapt delight,
Pausing again and yet again at will
To drink the elusive beauty of the night,
Until my soul is filled, as some deep cup,
That with divine enchantment is brimmed up.
