This tree caught my eye this morning. Pretty. For some reason, it immediately reminded me of the multi-generational essence of the Bride, all the colors living together. In such a youth-driven culture (no offense, young folk), what a beautiful picture is the Church -- learning and teaching and growing and encouraging one another, all ages combining to paint a beautiful picture. And how crucial it is that we maintain that intermingling today to His glory.
(Also, I just wrapped up the November poem-a-day challenge, so that's where my comprehension skills are living right now. Here ya go. First draft, so be understanding.)
The Autumn Beauty of the Bride
The Autumn beauty of the Bride
drawn out against creation’s blue
the yellow and red and green abide
together
The greenlings drink the sweet design
whether young in years or young in faith
flittering new with the freshness of Life
such energy
Stories are told in the yellowing fronds
in the thick of advancing transition
but tested and stayed, that fire has spawned
stability
And those dressed richly in deep ruby red
vividly brandish Him faithful
in confident wave and a peace that has bred
a great wisdom
Oh, the Bride, she carries her colors well
and the Groom’s eye catches the compliment
for ‘tis the blushes of hues intertwined that express best
her radiance
