October Anniversaries
OCTOBER
One is for Columbus, Two my Lady
This tropical place rattles memory --
Third cannot be memory of Autumn
The tropics dance to another rhythm
Yet where I am now, I choose happiness
New phones compress space; I see my Princess
The mind has its ways; we may love the heart
It will surprise, enthrall, tear one apart
How then to keep mindful and less with mind?
"Renew" it, said Paul, but no details I find
Reading between the lines, I feed my soul
Keeping thought-life, feelings, free-will, whole
Anniversaries may be happy and sad
Always, though, October colors me glad
