summer again ↠ one can wish

I'm watching the green give into gold
As summer becomes October's cold
Gravity begs
For one final kiss
She drops it to him, as she gives in
Traces of light, linger around
As laces of white fall to the ground
The softest of sounds for the heaviest things
And the pain that it brings
As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to becomes another again
I remember when
Don't remember the day, she started to fade
The ground felt a chill as she gave it away
A whisper - a sigh, for the time that she passed
But this winter won't last
As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to becomes another again
I remember when
Oh to be with summer again
The days were warm and we wore them like skin
Now I feel the effects of October again
As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to becomes another again
I remember when
Oh to be with summer again
I'm watching the green give in to gold
As summer becomes Octobers cold

Summer Again - The Afters

Matthew 6:6 ↠ When Devotions Speak

I've decided to start waking up early...*blech* but trust me, I'm not waking up to see the sunrise. Haha no. I'm trying to get a regular pattern for devotions. Interesting how one of the most important things in life we tend to forget. *sigh* or purposely choose to ignore. 

So anyways, I opened up my devotions book (Streams In the Desert) yesterday at 7 in THE MORNING!  I am a night owl. Sorry, I get sidetracked very easily. The first sentence was "Christ Jesus, in His humanity, felt the need of complete solitude -- to be entirely by Himself, alone with Himself." yeah okay...hmmm this seems to be what I was going for by waking up earlier... *keeps reading* 

"As a child of God, how much more do we need times of complete solitude -- times to deal with the spiritual realities of life and to be alone with God the Father." God....how did you?? like what?...

Then it gives me the reference Matthew 6:6 *grabs bible* 
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." OK God. I see..you want me..this is what I am doing right now! And now my devotions are about what I was already thinking. Wow! *blinks*  Slightly overwhelming 

So I am going to end with a part of a Meditation by George Matheson.
"O my soul, practice that solitude! Practice dismissing the crowd! Practice the stillness of your heart! Practice the majestic song "God and I! God and I!" Let no one come between you and your wrestling angel. You will recieve conviction yet pardon, when you meet Jesus alone!" 

So all of my friends, I encourage you to take some time and just be alone...with God and with His Holy Bible.

Change....

 comes swiftly and
takes the leaves on its back...
one day you are running with the wind...
but then you grow up. or at least you are told to.
Out with the old and in with the new...
the change isn't all bad however...
you grow up and things all change
but you can still be the same...
you don't have to change...
but it's often for the best.
