Days grow dark and murky. The world falls into hibernation, sleeping, dying. Slowly plodding, Autumn drags on. Don’t despair. Don’t weep over dying leaves. We wait. Hope is coming, bringing renewal. The dead will rise again. Winter is dark – but stars shine through darkness. In the day, they are invisible. Verdant green will replace winter white and autumn brown. Life renewed. Spring will come.
