October Falls

October slips into

Rainy morning

A step away From Winter's mooring. Fallen leaves Comfort and climb

Achieved in wind's whine.

Hold on to this feeling

It may leave you reeling.

Years of Octobers Flicker and fade

No matter,

You'll know you have played.

Black patent leather,

poison ivy leaves,

Titania's spells

Memories swell.

Hoping on this,

I do not dwell.

New memories form

Can I make this the norm?

Perched on the precipice,

The Fool marches in.

Please don't let this light dim.

Mourning is done.

Please let me see the sun.

Forward, not backward

Take the leap

October is never cheap.

Clammoring for a shot

To make sure all does not become naught. Carried away

Beyond the veil,

Each year offering a new way to sail.
