October’s Autumn

October’s Autumn
casts a gentle light
and a calm serenity
before the stark
barrenness of Winter
is born to November

It’s coming

2020 November 17th2016 November 20th

It’s peeking ’round the corner,
playing hide and seek —
I see its icy fingers,
a frost’d rosy cheek.

Autumn’s air is chilling
Warmth no longer lingers
The wild things are stilling
Colors mute and leave.

Winter goes gray so you can see your own colors…

Spring is being blessed and happy,
