October's Objective
Folder:
Wildlife/Nature October~
He has a duty to fullfill,
paving the path
between defiant Indian Summer
and frigid wrath of winter.
He clears the trees
of all their coverings,
for those left standing naked,
are most vulnerable.
He nips the air,
blowing nor-easterly breezes,
frosting the tips
of struggling blades.
He pulls the sun-shade
halfway down, so time falls
behind in step and darkness
takes the upper hand.
October has an objective
to accomplish~
to prepare the earth
for the changes Mother Nature
has decreed,
before November,
swiftly takes the reigns.
