Fall

by Deanna Mims

FALL

As the season changes,

And the warm days of summer fade,

The leaves turn from green to gold,

From orange to red and brown,

Revealing a fall landscape

Of color.

And among the trees,

I sit for far too long,

Sketching thoughts into poetry,

Into the evening hour —

Watching the warm hues of the season

Fade into dusk,

Beneath an autumn sky,

Of deepening blue —

And starlight.

DEANNA MIMS

Christian poet Deanna Mims wrote poetry as a young girl and recently picked up her pen again during her time spent in the wilderness. Writing poetry and praying helped her to survive spiritual warfare, tell her story, and share her message that God is real and to keep going. Her personal story is a tale of survival, strength, courage, and faith. Through poetry, she shares inspiration and encouragement, writing about nature and God’s amazing and beautiful creation. Writing poetry is her way of creating beauty from ashes.
