BROWN LEAVES UPON THE GROUND

 

Brown leaves covering the yard

reminding me sometimes I need to shed

the very things that charred

my very way of looking at life.

Things I did earnestly embed

into my now hardened heart

must fall away like the trees cast off

brown leaves and prepare the way

for new growth new life in the spring.

Only the Lord's truth can stay.

If it pleases not my king,

I should cast it away

like brown leaves upon the ground.
