Fall comes again
In measured steps
We walk woods without boots
Yes sturdy prescription shoes
Wind, cool air seeps again
To our wisdom of days growing
Shorter already, we listen again
Whistle of some birds flying south
Does Ruby Throat hum
Into shallow sky?
We know others perform
Squirrel, raccoon, rabbit storing
Away unlike some human
Hands depend on others
To bring about change
Cannot come of hands,
Wind whipping with single
Winter long predicted,
Purpose day, night, evening
Morning star comes later
In revolutions cut short
Born of planet around star,
My dearest mentions no Jesus
Cross, clothes divided among
Soldiers who gamble for last
Property of His, and Sky grows
Dim, curtain rent asunder, graves
Opened as dead walk again,
No spirit ghost these from
Jewish hallowed sanctified
Ground, thunder calls “It is
Finished!” Falsity is Autumn
The longest winter lasting
Into war, individual decisions
Turned again to spring?
Words proclaim in Jewish
Psalms, mighty Temple, rebuild
Me in three days, descent
Into death, full sacrifice
Again in Solomon, Issah
All foresee complete
The Risen Messiah,
There Emanuel set free
In every Gospel, folded into Acts
Because this spring, tongues
Of fire follow above Languages
Then spring, into life
Everlastingly faith for those
Proclaiming, those who do not
See. repeats the cycle of war,
Gone to those who accept
Eternally His Peace.
