Yesterday
and Today, encouraged by October's sun ~
the
leaves on trees are silently quiet ~
unmoved by wind or gentle breeze.
Nature
did bring us a snow-white teaser
bringing
omen of chill and what will seem
a
winter, so eternal.
I
wondered, driving my car ~ an October day,
this
beautiful golden sun ~ I must enjoy
before
it becomes 'cloud hidden'
its
view I must... I must not bar.
My
hibiscus 'bush' now early inside,
she's
relinquished the frosty nights.
Near
the windowed door ~
and
neath the eyes of 'wolf clock'
o'er
the winter, she'll abide.
And
on this day.......
The
sky is azure blue ~
Not
a whisper escapes the pine;
Most
birds have headed South
and
the few remaining ~
perhaps
wishing they, too, had flew!
This
morning, I went on errands
to
the library and 'Food Basics,'
No
snow last night ~ the ground still bare.
Black
leather gloves from their compartment
I
retrieved, which my hands warmly greeted
as
long-time winter friends
and
into them, my fingers shoved.
Perhaps
you too, have such reveries
you
could share with others and me!
