November sermon

 

Its November but thru the window

the sun is bright on the brick wall

sparse leaf shadows in the luke-cold air

Around me busy conversations as diners

fill the air and empty their plates

So many separate lives

all heading....where?

Me,Too. Heading somewhere.

Most of life – been good! - behind me now

My joints and my chest are telling me

it is my November also.

So it is time - while I have some – to look

Back:  Actually been pretty easy compared to some.

I wonder why I was given tools and abilities others were not

Thank you, Creator

I've tried to do something for the godawful mess I see on Earth

Forward:  Who knows?  I don't see how anything I did/do can hurt/help

the Creator of a 100 billion galaxies. Guess I'll know – or not - someday.

Soon these sunny days will give way to misty chill.

Like the sun, I too must go away.

Will I be back?
