Savory Season

Savory Season
I can see my breath;
God is painting fall weather.
He is creating beauty with new colors;
in the sky, upon the ground, in the water --
the al fresco canvas is changing.
The earth is responding to the Maker of All
with trusting surrender.
I ponder the journey of my own heart
to reach such a place of trust –
a place void of battle or struggle.
As my seasons change,
do I let God paint the colors of my day?
Do I trust my Creator completely?
When what appears to be the epitome of summer
dies at my feet, do I trust my God completely?
Do I yield to his design?
Today, as the brisk air encircles me,
I ponder; I walk and wonder…
Seeking the answer, as my feet find the crunchy leaves
of this savory season.
