THE LEAVES THAT GLOW

 

I love how the stars and the moon glow in the night

like a Lite-Brite in the sky. 

A beautiful reminder…of another day gone by.


We count on the stars and moon…like clockwork

every night to reappear…

It is their fate to glow in the sky 

every night…of every day…of every year.


But during the Autumn season…

If you look quickly…before the season’s done

you notice the leaves upon the trees

have a special relationship with the sun.


When the sun begins to rise and shine on the trees

as they continue to grow

immediately you notice how their leaves begin to glow.


You’re taken aback at first…

by all the colors overflowing.

You can’t believe your eyes…

because all the leaves are glowing.!


Even the leaves that have fallen from the trees

the way the creators all designed them

begin to glow with pride

when the sunlight finally finds them.


And when the sun sets over the mountains…

the leaves slowly lose their light

willing to cede their glowing

to the stars that light the night


It’s one of the reasons I love the Fall…

the only time of year to see nature’s lights on full display

from the stars that sparkle in the night

to the leaves that brighten up the day
