Until a New Dawn

here
in this
tiny piece
of America
trees
and shrubs
sing
in rainbow tunes
whisper
in soft greens
chortle
in vibrant oranges
laugh
in glorious reds
weep
in deep umber
smile
in sunny yellows

while
flowers fade
and the world
grows chill
its breath
rising
toward
mount and hill
preparing its slumber
with autumn’s sighs

in spite
of humanities
foibles,
God’s creation
goes on
never truly slumbering
only resting
quietly
preserving itself
until a new dawn

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
