And so November
Colder days have taken hold
as wrapped up people shiver
into winter
With the swansong of Autumn
for the year-end’s curtain call

And so October
Memory of summer fades
and chill settles in
And yet the promise
as greenery turns to gold
with treasure to find
And as winter looms
summer falls from all the trees
as we wrap up warm

It’s a quarter to six
and the sun’s sinking low
But it’s so lovely here
that I don’t want to go
So I’ll sit here a while
as the shadows grow long
to watch the sun set
to the ebbing tide’s song
And as temperatures drop
and the day disappears
I’ll watch the gold grow
with the salt from my tears
And I’ll bid it farewell
as it fades to the west
from my vantage point here
on the beach where I’m blessed

It was as if the sun was laughing
As, with a snub to time of year
It said “No” to woolly hats and scarves
And “Yes” to swimming gear

With rain today October dawned
Autumn’s finally here
but I’m grateful for the summer
which has brought us lots of cheer
Colder now the sun has gone
The green though still remains
The memory has yet to fade
The warmth still in my veins
And summer’s child still has a smile
for more is yet to come
Before it’s time to bid farewell
to the lovely warming sun

October morning
chill in air
with harvest moon
in blue sky there
Commuters with
their i-phones out
capture it
so there’s no doubt
For magic moments
such as these
are gone so swiftly
time to seize
And smiles appear
to make the day
in ways that words
can seldom say

Underneath the canopy
the yellow on the ground
the changing of the seasons
as autumn comes around
The beauty at this time of year
takes my breath away
enraptured by the wonder
on this fine October day
