October's Crown

The growing dusk draws this fall day to term. October crowned in warmth and brilliant light. The sun across it arc shines to confirm, that these fall days be passionate and bright. Heroic are the colors autumn wears. Yet, soon its rich-hued robe will fade away, to know the sting of winter's icy airs. We wish our coldest season would delay. The gleanings of these golden days are rich. We hold such gifts within our hearts, sublime. Nostalgia is the providence from which we warm our souls the span of winter-time. Stand firm through dormant seasons, sharp and cold. Soon warmth will grace spring's light to be extolled. 10-25-14
