Preparation in the Autumn

Meditation in nature

an education from within

enjoying the cool morning

the air is thin

My heart leaps

watching the squirrels prepare

winter is coming

the nest is bare

Nuts and berries

nature has provided a bounty

scurrying to collect them

many squirrels in the county

The leaves are changing

orange, yellow, and red

so much beauty around

the squirrels will be fed

Preparing my soul

for the harvest of the year

reflecting all the blessings

of all that is near

Bountiful food

loving one another

sharing our lives

helping those that suffer

Autumn is coming

there is crispness in the air

my soul is refreshed

the cupboard is no longer bare
