Full of Light

It is just starting:

this change of season.

But already the leaves of the trees are pulling themselves tight,

cupping their hands to hold

on to the light.

Drinking,

soaking it in

so that, very soon,

they will delight in a new way

of reflecting that light

to

the glory of God

and the

amazement of man.

How beautifully leaves grow old.

How full of light and color are their last days.

~John Burroughs
