A timeless connection

Some days just happen this way...
and seem like all the doors are shut tight
and barred with a great shadow.

On such days one needs to go for a walk
and visit an old friend who now sports a new coat of red.

My late afternoon walk took me by a familiar place,
a place of comfort and satisfaction.
The place where an old tree remains,
at sunset casting its shadow as it has in the past.

So on a day when every thing seems upside down,
one finds solace in things that haven't changed.

Maker of the trees,
the One who changes not,
cast Your light upon me
and may my shadow be a reminder...
