Fallin’ Into Autumn, Wanderin’ the Corn Maze

I came to a field of green,
where the corn stalks grew so tall.

Rows and rows
of green leaves,
swayin’ with the breeze.

Corn stalks standin’ tall,
walls and walls
forevermore.

Right turns.
Left turns.

Gettin’ lost.

Turnin’ round and round.

Laughs echoes
through the maze
in childlike delight.

This way.
That way.

Which way do we go?

Twists and turns.
Everythin’ lookin’ the same.

Where do we go?
Which way do we turn?

Follow the sun
and you’ll be fine.

Funny, how that’s life
sometimes.

A few wrong turns.
Going down a few wrong paths.

And then…

Clear as day,
we see a way forward.

This fall,

May you trust life’s twists and turns.
May the dead ends & detours teach you to keep movin’, have patience, and keep tryin’.
Let the light guide and comfort you evermore.

Fallin’ Into Autumn, Hay Ridin’ Around

The autumn hayride, the frosty breeze
The fading color of the trees…

Country roads.
Long and straight.
Short and curvy.
Up and down.

Tall grasses in a maze.

Hay ridin’
on a tractor,
jigglin’ and wigglin’
laughin’ up a storm.

Through the fields
near a stream,
the sounds of leaves
crickle and crackle.

Memories of yesteryear
flood back,
capturin’ a time
of innocence and wonder.

For a little while,
the years slip away,
and you’re just a kid again,
ridin’ on the back of a wagon
loaded with hay.

This fall,

May you find joy in the country, smellin’ the air fresh and crisp.
May the simple pleasure of a hayride bring you
hope, laughter, and childlike awe.

Fallin’ Into Autumn, Pickin’ a Pumpkin

I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides.

Passin’ a pumpkin patch
on the way to work,
thinkin about pumpkins
round and round.

All day, seein’ pumpkins
everywhere I look.

In the office.
In the trees.
At lunch.
In a meetin’.

Can’t get pumpkins off my mind.

After work, in the car,
seein’ pumpkins.

Stop.

Out I go,
into the field,
wanderin through rows,
of pumpkins galore.

Orange and gold,
pumpkins and gourds,
small and large,
waitin’ for me.

Short ones.
Tall ones.
Slick ones.
Bumpy ones.

All waitin’ to be picked.

Pick one up.
Set it down.
Try another.

Sometimes the pumpkin chooses you.

This fall,

May you find joy in the simple search for something special.
May you slow down and notice what speaks to your heart
and what colors speak to your soul.
May pumpkins remind you that sometimes treasures
find you when you least expect it.
