the tenth month

The Tenth month

What is there to say about 
about a perfect day, the first of October
when the sun is infused with silver

A few cumuli look like a bride's belt
a sky that has pale blueness  
bathed in the mystical haziness of dreams

The limitless seeking understanding
why oak leaves fall and grass takes
on the color auburn and lemon hue 

In supple silence, I hear animals getting 
ready for a white landscape, the long 
rest before a new spring explodes

Do not sleep this day be aware, feel
the dust free air and nuanced harmony
of a moment that will not reappear
