Autumn Rest


Autumn leaves

Litter lawns

                 Flitting

                          Floating

Flying leaves

Trees bared as their

Outfits lie in a heap.

 

Pages rustle

Like leaves in the wind

Settle restlessly

At a new chapter

 

Heart flutters

Tachycardic beats

Unable to find rhythm

Till as an infant upon his mama's chest 

          Finds rest

My heart finds rest in You.

  1. Since breaking my foot 3- 1/2 weeks ago, I have been still physically...but mentally it's been a bit more of a challenge. Finally, as I sat outside bundled in a blanket enjoying the fall day--I began to sense rest.

    As I traced fallen leaves into my journal...this poem emerged.

    Blessings as you rest in Him,

    Jeanne

  4. Beautiful, lyrical, Jeanne! I didn't realize you wrote poetry, too! Hope you're getting better every day.

  5. Thank you, Vonda. Not sure if I can call it poetry--I am not sure of its form, a psalm, maybe, thoughts of the heart that pour forth.

    My foot is improving nicely... Realizing I am going to have my work cut our for me as I will need to restrengthen lots of unused and overused muscles.

    Blessings,
    Jeanne
