the amber light of sunset

the amber light of sunset
falling on the steeple
the brick alive in the dying
of the autumnal light
too soon there will be winter
where so recently summer
but in the in between
we feel God’s sense of wonder
beauty in the dying, the fading
of the light, the tranquil image
the hope within the walls
our prayer for lasting peace
