Autumn brings to the soul relief,
as hot Summer days, slip to an end
God sent the season for weary hearts
to restore, repair and mend.
Unlike the Autumn trees,
that shed their changing leaves
God sent the season for failing hearts
to adhere, embrace and cleave.
Just as with the Autumn winds,
there comes a new refreshing rain
God sent the season for fraying hearts
to increase, grow and gain.
The Autumn sun is slow to climb,
and dips much earlier into the night
God sent the season for sleepy hearts
to rise, shine and awake in His light.
God gave to us the Autumn season,
so we could have a respite and rest
for it is the season for our beset souls
to see how much we are blessed!
~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 16:9
King James Version
“Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest
in hope.”

I was born in Romania. I live in Nigeria (Africa) since 1980. For all these years I did not experience ‘autumn’. But I still remember the golden color of the leaves, the cooling of the air, the time of harvest and the preparation for winter. To me, memories are poems. I tried to adjust to a place that has only two seasons: ‘Hot and dry’ and ‘Hot and wet’. But in my spirit I still follow the pattern instilled in my childhood. My spirit finds order in ‘old things’, tested by time and captured by fading pictures. “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven… A right time to plant and another to reap” (Ecc 3:1, 2). For me, this is reaping time, harvest time!

I am from WA State where we always have four very beautiful seasons. My favorite is fall. As it is one that provides for me a time of rest and reflection and of course the wonder colors that God turns the trees too. Have a blessed day with Jesus!
