OCTOBER AFTERNOON

5:00 PM
Splendid cloudless day
God’s brilliant sun
Bursting through the thinning fall leaves
Unshackled clusters
Begin their final regal descent
Translucent blast of reds
Electric olive colors
Neon persimmon
Glowing tangerine
Spicy yellow jewels
Explode into my brain
Sensory chain reaction
Mighty hickory trees
Bulging with bounty
Soon shall stand naked
To face the icy blasts to come
Perky gray ground squirrel
Ignores my voyeurism
Busy with preparation
Gathering his winter sustenance
Cool gentle breeze
Breathtaking view
From my 3rd floor vantage
A distant siren screams
Untold tragedy
Befalls another victim
I sit in wonder
Enjoying my slice of heaven
This brutal world keeps spinning
Let it fly
Through the eyes of Christ
Peace can be found in the busiest of places
I soak it up like a sponge
One glorious day at a time
Our Fathers gift of creation
Magnificent
Brimming with life
Cherished memories
Of a lovely October afternoon
