OCTOBER’S END

 We are on the cusp of winter as October sheds its last few hours and we will be soon entrenched in November’s fallen leaves and the cold. Happy Halloween to everyone and for all the souls have departed us.


autumnal


seasons change like seasons do                       

we feel their embrace

in the shadow of our minds.      

reminders of days that have left us                     

times that we can’t ever recover


feel that change in the air

of a cheek-kissing breeze

and the earth at our feet

uninvited it knows what to do

settles itself down

stirs unseen into winter’s cold grip

and then

effortlessly glides

gently into a new time

and we have to notice

welcome it as a gift

that we may not deserve


there for us to take 

and now

what will be the price

unless we uncover

a zest for change
