Autumn's Resounding Applause/a-h-hs





Dashing twixt Beauty and Duty can induce quite a marathon!
The Solution? Try to find ways to blend them into one Awe-filled Autumn Hymn

It's been a week of working with Autumn's Beauty-Bounty
Apples, pumpkins and tomatoes
for the preserving end...



Zucchini, peppers, red onion, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage
for the instant gratification of YUMMY!!



Beauty begs us to be quiet 
Duty draws us by Must’s laws 
From the multicolored riot 
Of a thousand autumn-awes/ah-hs 

Wonder washes away worry 
Worship bids us slow our feet 
In a world so full of hurry 
Where awe and hunger compete 

Eyes witness the work of nature 
Faith bids us behold far more 
Than the elemental stature 
Of a season’s repertoire 

Leaf-song dwindles as wind swindles 
Notes from woodland’s waning blaze 
Yet something in leaf-loss kindles 
Autumn’s awesome hymns of praise 

Beauty beckons to distraction 
Duty reconciles must’s laws 
With sweet, soulful satisfaction 
Autumn's resounding applause/a-h-hs

Now it's off to more of the same...
Being awed by God's Beauty-bounty ballad!
