Autumn’s Message
The patio bench invites me to linger and bask in the autumn sunlight as it filters through the leafy branches above me. Bold colors emblazon flower beds with brilliant yellow chrysanthemums and giant scarlet blossoms topping the sedum. Creeping from the rock garden’s shadows, a spotted salamander seeks warmth on the cement steps.
I want to embrace this glorious day, clutching it tightly, never relinquishing it to winter’s icy grasp. Like the Indian summer days, my days on earth are also numbered. A gentle breeze seems to whisper a message in passing, “Live fully……..grow in faith…..love deeply……. and discover beauty in all of life’s seasons.” --Karan Koelling © 9-29-08
