My Soul Shines Brightly

Tonight my soul shines brightly

At the promise of seeing

The sun rise on an autumn day

When I may finally see

The harvest brought to being

.

Through a hard, bitter winter

Ages and ages long

At times I thought

I’d never hear

Spring’s sweet lilting song

.

Then springtime came into bloom

And grass began to grow

Another age and a half

I waited and watched

In the warm sun all aglow

.

The summer hit

And I’ve worked hard

To feed and fertilize

While each new budding fruit

I’ve reveled in and guarded

.

And now the time approaches

To see what has been grown

Will autumn’s fruits

Of all I’ve done

Have their abundance shown?

.

I’ve waited patiently with hope,

With faith, with joy, with love

Yearning to taste the juices

Of each soft tender fruit

And the dulcet things thereof

  2. I agree, when living life one tiny step at a time, the world slows down to a crawl and you enjoy more of the smallest parts. May your fall bare great fruits and wondrous colors.
    Your words are evermore so elegant. Thanks for your beauty. 🌹
