born unto October
the rustic color of brown
my eyes search through the trees
for hues of fast fading green
but the showers of November
too soon have cast cold to the
ground
bringing to mind the close of
yet another season as one so
sweetly serene
with its beauty so abundant
washing winter so cleverly
dramatic and clean
I come to realize that I can not
find it in myself to be even a
little quiet
much less mean..............
