Looking Forward

advancing
quickly, moribund
flashes of
demise for the
season almost past,
settling
around my shoulders
with a gasp of
scarecrow propensity,
having done its
task, emblazoning
bodily tattoo reminders
on willing
worshippers while I,
still shades of pale,

will enter winter
not having neglected
anything

nor having
cancered
my thoughts
a flake at a
time

Ah.... nicely crafted... I personally will enter Winter with regret for the change and loss of warmth from sun and breeze...

nice work... and I know much more lies under the words than simple change of season...

I enjoyed

I love the way this is written. Seems I'm paying more attention to the effects of the sun. I don't want to be one big freckle anymore. I'm ready for fall much quicker these days. I enjoyed this!
Sincerely,
Regina

winter? I am ready. I love dawn in the winter and listening to snowflakes hit the ground.

Deca dear we seem to be thinking along the same lines of seasons and reasons...
and Im thinking this is a very clever, intelligent write.  

Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom
Precious rhythm you are my guide
These days are sacred, my heart is humble
Oh warrior show me thy light
