Fields of Grace - The Golden Wood

It's always nice to see the photos from Fields of Grace in color; here's one that's especially appropriate for this time of year, although most of the leaves have been blown off our trees in the past few days.  

Take some time to pause and wonder at the gifts presented to us each season.

The Golden Wood

                   
                    Showers of sunlight

                      fall to earth,

                      dripping silently from

                      branches overhead,

                      forming a golden mist

                      on the forest floor.

 

                    Crumpled sheets of

                      yellowed parchment

                      gather in piles;

                      collecting like a poet's

                      unsuccessful attempt

                      to capture the moment.
