This Bitter Wind Bitter wind takes flight in this October sky beckoning its due dissolution. Tears fall upon the beleaguered leaf only to race along its augured course and drop into this abyss of sorrow. Lamentations report dismay amidst evergreen brethren. They are without understanding as they have not yet begun to color and falter at the frost. Unwilling is this tree to bow in defeat As it holds fast to it's elected friend. Bitter wind resigns not, but endures to victory as it plucks from the fold it's frail friend. Survivors of this bitter wind grapple with the leave's untimely ascension. Amazement succumbs them all as life anew rises. And, as they ponder this evergreen leaf in flight They find its captor, not in contempt, but simply conspiring to deliver their friend from mortality at the foot of their Father. Frailty does not sit at the table of grace. Nor does color flee from the report of Fall. These leaves we lament do not wither, and fall away in the darkness of October's sky. To the contrary my friends, their message is evident and unrelenting. They gather at the foot of all who grieve to strengthen our foundation of faith. They are undying and everlasting.
