October Musings

Gazing out my window Slate-gray day, wind whipping Leaves uprooted, skittering along October surely gone wrong Saw rain slant across the lawn Threatening skies all around A day to stay inside the house I trembled like a frightened mouse... A knock at the door froze me but good Perhaps a ghost from nearby woods I opened my door a tiny crack -- anyone there? 'Twas an anxiety attack that had me scared Opened the door a little bit more A pleasant surprise for me in store The wind was warm, the weather pleasing Sweet October's return ~ my panic now easing ~ Musings on an October night where the weather's changing ~
