A Composition of Harvest

In late winter, I heard the formidable crash of a huge oak tree on the hillside next to our home. Death for the old oak wasn’t the end and I write more of those thoughts here. It’s a stunning prelude to spring, but below I’ve posted the poem I wrote this autumn as I thought back on this year of seasons.

Seasons are woven together so intricately and yet so different in nature. We need each one to have them all, and I love how God made seasons to move and shift and change and be.
