Days shorten, we fall away
Drifting
Floating
We cannot stay
Colors change and intensify
Deepening
Altering
We mystify
It’s not death, only rebirth
Transforming
Converting
Parts of the Earth
So stop and look, at our glory
Creating
Inspiring
Many a story

So pretty, Michelle. I love being in nature, too, and I enjoy church as well. But I can be in nature more often. 🙂

I hear ya. Nature is my church many times. My mind is clearer and less distracted there it seems. Perhaps because there is less people to create drama?

On the other hand, the gathering of believers is such a blessing and time to get together and rejoice, pray, learn. The drama is unfortunate, that’s for sure, but there was rather a lot of drama in Jesus’ life and He still got together with others. 🙂

That had me cracking up. True. Jesus did have some drama in his life. I guess a good balance of human contact mixed in with my solitude in natures days is the way to go.

Lovely! Nature is powerful inspiration.

Indeed it is. Sometimes I swear have more spiritual moments while walking or horseback riding on a trail than when I am church with people. Perhaps because there are less distractions, just me and all that God created?

Enjoyed your collage of leaves that represent the old and the new. Nature provides and we must take her seriously, as I know that you have. Your poem adds depth to the collage’s story. Happy Photo Challenge.

Thanks:) I could not figure out what I wanted to write, and then a poem came to me. Guess Mother Nature inspired me after all.
