Brilliant scarlet, burnished gold,
Trees ablaze in tangerine,
Hillsides awash in autumns shades,
Simply waiting to be seen.
Perched amid trees across the way,
Is a church with a new coat of white,
Its steeple standing proudly,
Its cross reflecting soft light.
Picture postcard perfect,
Created by Your hand,
A gift You give so freely,
To help us understand;
That as the flowers begin to wilt,
You'll erase the brown and the gray,
You'll fill our lives with color,
Framed in an autumn's day.
And as the leaves come tumbling down,
In bright yellows, reds and greens,
We'll feel Your presence everywhere,
In this most magnificent scene.

Brilliant work!
The colors jump out of the page I read.
The beauty of the hand of God in all things is cleary seen in the awesome words you penned.

Bonnie what a brilliant display of fall you've painted! I can just picture the beauty!

It is remarkable the colors He displays for us isn't? Wow, you've given me such a warm and happy feeling with this

Dear Bonnie; Wow! You've done a magnificent job with your magical and colorful pen!
The picture is so real and so lovely. You are a truly gifted poet. love, ellie
P.S. thanks for  the crown...I'm not so sure I earned it, but you make it sound so "majestic"! LOL

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Oh, My Bonnie, Each time you outdo yourself. This should be on a postcard with the very scene you have described and the very words you have written.  Indeed, so very lovely and I love it!!  It is book material and a Christian post card is just waiting for this one.  Submit it please.  Love, Marcy

I agree, this should be a greeting card.  The poem flows so beautifully and the descriptive phrases bring so many autumn pictures to mind...  I can just see that newly painted church surrounded in a mix of Fall colors. I just want to go jump into a pile of those leaves...  God Bless You, Bob <><
