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
