sometimes
so many years
flow through my mind
today rain refreshes
and the air is autumn

Luci Shaw writes about how beauty, nature and faith sustain our souls. I’m rereading her recent books, and I often reread a poem or two aloud in an older book. Timeless.
There is a generous selection of Luci’s Poetry at her official site.

Ellen, this is amazing! On Sunday I was taking my mom for a walk (she, in the wheelchair) but we had to hurry under the porch awning because it started to rain. Mom smiled, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “It smells like the leaves have turned red and gold,” she said. “Are we at the farm?”

Ellen I wanted to thank you for the visit to my blog. I also want to thank you for this post. I am reading this at 3 in the morning after a difficult day yesterday and your words give me comfort. The air was feeling like Autumn in my part of Missouri yesterday and I was thankful.. it is my favorite time of year. I will be following you and reading.
