Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Golden

there’s something so endearing
about a late fall sun
so mellow so sultry

a warm toasty glow that lingers
and penetrates your skin
reaching through to the bone
your body craving it

moments so rare
you want to treasure
and stretch out

knowing how few and precious
those last rays really are
before the clouds and snow

winter will be long
and the cold disheartening
so soak up the energy...

of that october sun
let it kiss your cheeks
slowly utter its last goodbyes
