Autumn Hope
by Ryan M. Roberts
Autumn leaves flame out as they make their descent
through the cool harvest air.
Their brilliant colors wane under foot;
broken and crushed into the darkening earth below.
Yet even in death they yield a harvest.
Hidden in winter depths, their embers glow;
waiting,
fueling hope,
expectant for the spark of new life.
- Isaiah 55:8-9 -

So beautiful - reminds me of Henry Van Dyke's poem "Autumn in the Garden".

Thanks for reading and for mentioning Henry Van Dyke. I had never heard of him, but I like his poem, "Autumn in the Garden," and will read more of his work.
