October 2020

An exquisite month and season
our eyes strain to thin
though heartache this has been
nobody understands the reason

as the leaves are falling softly
upon the beckoned ground
they're teardrops to the sound
all peaked cold and frosty

edgy for those of any ill
and all who fear the elevator
without viable ventilator
hope hides the perennial

fantasy doth bewilder
the rise of zest captivate
though bewildered on this date
together we sing for the gilder

We are living in dire times. October will move us towards Christmas and winter. I am not looking forward for all these. ~~

Me either, Victor. Hopefully, the coming new year will bring about positive change. :)
