Autumn

Tumbling Water

Decaying Building

It’s all fall

But the mountains stand tall.

If they would move,

God is still our refuge and strength.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.

                                                                               Psalm 46:1-2

Oh My!

The happy black bear 

dances through the dandelions,

spilled yellow paint 

across the valley floor. 

He thinks he found the yellow brick road.

He looks for lions,

tigers, 

and Dorothy.

Oh my!

Colorado

The word “color” seems

 to stand out in Colorado today,

Not just red, 

but blues, white, silver, grays,

oranges, purples, yellows, greens,

painting my soul,

allowing it to sing in harmony

with God and the angels.

Skiing

Strap on skis

Grab poles and push off

Heart races

Snow flies out

Mountain scenery speeds by

You made it!

Stop and look back and up

As the ant-like skiers approach

Postcard # 10

Paint me a picture with words

Sing me a song with colors

Tell me a story with melody

And I’ll dance to the music of your soul.

Mountains

M ajestic mountains

O verlook a fertile valley

U nder a cloudy sky

N ew wild flowers spring up

T elling of their creator

A wesome, amazing, beautiful

I worship Him gladly

N ow, in the solitude of a

S unlit collage of wonder

Little Blessings

In situations as harsh as the highest mountains,

 it’s the little things,

 like wildflowers, butterflies and bird songs 

that brightens a person’s day. 

When Dad had Alzheimer’s, 

he forgot it wasn’t manly 

to say, “I love you,” 

or bring roses from the garden.
