Sit in silence, untethering from thoughts.
Observe with the eyes of your heart.
Listen with the ears of your heart bought
by Grace to free you from your very start.
Just as your eyes focus on the scenery,
still your mind as is the forest before you.
God's Love is felt shining in the greenery
as autumn air is just whispering, "It's true."
This pleasing pause of mindlessness
opens your mind to hear birds sing.
Their praises to God thus reminding us,
let God's words reach our heartstrings.
As the seasons give birth to change
make space in times such as these,
to pass over the finite things, and exchange
wants into needs ... and thank God for trees.
