October teaches us to let go
To linger longer and savor slow
October dresses down what May dressed up
A flower is a tear and a leaf is a cup
October back-roads beckon because
They lead through pictures of what once was
October turns in early and rises late
It twists tired tendrils through the pasture gate
October decorates earth like a banquet hall
No bluff is too big and no leaf is too small
October kindles hills like love kindles the heart
Breath-stealing beauty in God-rendered art
October opens new doors and closes others
It tugs on heart-strings twixt daughters and mothers
October, dis-rober of sun-dappled sighs
Its air all a-flutter with birch butterflies
