Fall

Awakening to sunlight
Streaming through the window
Leaves fluttering, falling from the birches.
Trees undressing, disrobing,
Becoming naked and bare.
This is Fall.
And I fall.
Into His arms.
Helpless.
Realizing His presence.
Warming my face.
And grace falls, cascading like the leaves.
Taking off, stripping me of my shame, my guilt.

"Don't resist helplessness—
it's the power of your prayer life."
