October Sky~

Mist and silver light

Autumn fire burning bright,

Crimson leaves a fiery sight

'Neath October's sky...

Chill winds dwell upon the hill,

Brooks and ponds start to fill

As raindrops downwards spill.

Another summer says good-bye...

Harvest of pumpkins, squash, corn,

Frost replaces dew one morn',

Another month of beauty born...

Time for garrulous geese to fly.

A cool, clear aura fills the air,

Golds and browns and scarlets flare;

Spiced hot cider and tales to share...

Hear outside the gale's fierce cry.

Blackbirds crow from barren trees

Bundle up- lest you freeze!

Oh, for memorable days like these!

'Neath October's sky.
