the bright, the bold, the hard to miss
"in your face" colours?
I need not seek for beauty
it shouts out and finds me
creates a perfect laziness.
even its chill
edges lose their focus
more effort is required
I don't see until I look
but glory waits to be found.
So too, in riotous summers of my spirit
over-filled with His goodness
I tend to grow dull, taking Him for granted.
My words of repentence
crackle as the fallen leaves
calling out my mistake
as I more gladly now
bid farewell to Summer's ease
and step into the Autumn toil.
Yes, I will seek You.
With all my heart
with all my soul
with all my strength
and You will Be my all
as Winter comes.
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near Isaiah 55:6 NIV
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being and with all your might. Deuteronomy 6:5 Amplified

"but glory waits to be found"
Beautiful.

being found by beauty...

I love summer too. It came late this year and seems to end early. I love the Fall but this year seem unprepared for it. I love the scripture verses you've selected too.
