October
Tufts of
softness sprinkled across the expanse,
Eliciting
sense of wintry wishes
That may
never fall
Drooping
vanilla contrast chocolate stalks
Stem
upholding boll
Flying
flocks pasted on pale blue canvass
Illuminated
distantly by dwindling warmth
Imperceptibly
yet imminent,
Season
tiptoes into place,
A subtle
nudge to appreciate all behind us;
Anticipate
promises of growth and rebirth,
Acknowledge
there can be not light without dark
Dots of
gold pepper fields as sunlight fades
Each day a tad sooner while breezes
Caress
flesh a bit more prickly
Emerald
color crawls down and away
Replaced by
absence of hue, but not of life
Drowsy
landscapes prepare for slumber
Emotions
stir and crackle as kindling in fire
The stark
horizon providing an opaque surface
Through
which reflection slows the pace,
If but for
a briefest of glances...
Trust your fall will improve.
