AUTUMN PSALM OF FEARLESSNESS
I am surrounded by a peaceful ebbing,
as creation bows to the mystery of
life;
all that grows and lives must give
up life,
yet it does not really die.
As plants surrender their life,
bending, brown and wrinkled,
and yellow leaves of trees
float to my lawn like parachute troops,
they do so in a life of serenity.
I hear no fearful cry from creation,
no screams of terror,
as death daily devours
once green and growing life.
Peaceful and calm is Autumn’s
swan song,
for she understands
that hidden in winter’s death
grip
is Spring’s open-handed
full-brimmed breath of life.
It is not a death rattle that sounds
over fields and backyard fences;
rather I hear a lullaby
softly swaying upon the autumn wind.
Sleep in peace, all that lives;
Slumber secure, all that is dying,
for in every fall there is the rise
whose sister’s name is Spring.
