IMAGES
WORDS
October
Listen to the strained and dimming
voices of the night.
Feel the cooling of the earth.
See the colors
of approaching Fall.
Sense the green sap slowing
like molasses in a frosted jar.
The days are growing
darker, calmer.
The white quiet of winter
is pushing life
deep below the surface.
Stars glitter in a black sky
singing their cosmic songs.
Imagine...
darkness night
winter light
quiet down
sleep tonight
dreams run rampant
through the freezing air.
