Autumn


Trees grow,
brighten, darken,
let their fruit and leaves drop
to the ground,
stand naked and still
as everything they've created blows around
and away from them.

They never stop their praise of the sky.

Perhaps we should listen
to what the trees have to say to us about faith.

Why do we chase and grasp at the things we say we love?
