THIS - BRAVE - NEW - WORLD """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" WRITTEN BY S.C.MITCHELL MAY 2013. Branches - once stark and black - are painted now with Lushest greens of every hue - that tells us Summertime is Almost here - as yet - Not overdue . The nesting birds - are silent now - as each attends to matters Of a great import - and Spring bulbs - once glorious in their various Shades - are now no longer seen - Nor sought - As bluebells start to lose their deep-sea blue - and starlings with Their aerial display - are no longer pirouetting - for our view - We enter in another phase of time .... Now - Pansies and Hostas and golden Aconites - replace the Former beauty - with their own delights - and honeysuckle scatters Forth its sweet perfume - in evening light - and opens up another Vista - another gloroius scene - to thrill the eyes - where previous Pageantry has been . This Brand New World - unfolds its wings as angels in the morning Dew - whispering its secrets to our hearts - that - ' It is well ' - and We can feast on God's abundant - lavish - gifts of loving fare - a Banquet - that our grateful hearts can be - forever Thankful for . """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" I for one am grateful for whatever season it is and for all God's bounteous kindness to us ... For Winter ...with its cold, dark nights ... For Springtime ...with its new shoots and promise of new life ... For Summertime ...for warmth and outdoor activities ... For Autumn ...with its changing colours and preparation for Winter again . In all these changes - let us be grateful to the One who sustains Everything with the power of His life - His love - His Word . God bless you all Stella >< Vote for this poem
