Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Precious Moments - October Sun

A friend who warms the earth
   though unlike Spring, when she gives birth
to blooms and blossoms, on hill, in vale
   October sun's yellow's a shade of pale

She parts the clouds with yet-piercing rays
   but does not linger long these days
Waits 'til coffee's finished to rise
   Then zooms across the chilly skies

And ere she goes down, she dips too fast
   for her memorable sunsets to last
Those precious moments, of brilliant hue
   when couples whisper, "I love you"
