morning, evening

Mary Elyn Bahlert 
you put on a show-
your dancing leaves turn from green to gold -
                           magic!
shimmer in the breeze,
then fall - 
                           silent 
                           slow
to the waiting earth - participant in the silent drama.

you put on a show.
you wait
as the autumn wind removes your yellow dress
and your branches lift themselves - light -
into the air.

I am a spiritual seeker, a seeker who has "taken a drink from many cups." I love to accompany others on the deeper journey to witness to their True Self. Now a writer, photographer and poet, I have retired from full-time ministry as a pastor in downtown Oakland, CA.
