Leaves

are adrift on
Autumn’s waterfall of
colour and Poplar leaves
tinkle like bells
during afternoon’s breath. Gentle
soundings create
a softness within my
heart, teasing me from lofty
tree stands.

In the stillness of
this moment I know my
God, my Father, is alongside as
I face each moment in
life. His Divine bells
of encouragement ring loudly,
grand melodies that keep calling me.
