October's Gifts

Of all the months, the days of October
Call to me with a voice  like no other
The harvest almost done, silos filling
Over night the color palate changes
Birds have gathered for their flight 
Enchantment of the year's first fireside
Renewing rest of winter soon to come

I liked the flow of this one, Barbara. And I especially was charmed by the second line. Some things do 'speak' to us, don't they? I get some kind of kick out of apple trees, September nights and even the fall rain feels cleansing. Cheers and big congrats, Cyndi
