Reasons to Keep Walking…  October is like this when a late afternoon walk makes you appreciate the half-warm, half-cool sides of you, dependent [already] on which is sun-side up, when turning in circles is the only answer. Somewhere out there, a train runs through the town, marking time in miles. I still find me stepping to miss sidewalk cracks, even though that back is no longer here to bear any burden I might lay upon it, so these still in need thoughts, well, I keep them to myself for this is October readying me when a day in November will hold me quiet, like clichéd fine crystal framing that green glint from her eyes I remember so well… In this week’s end, a fall into autumn will expect me to find that in nine, I shall still be here, in health, expecting even more years to greet me, and I won’t fear any familial predisposition or a too-early demise… so, I will wander my week’s end in reds and golds, wave goodbye to green and pull grains of life to me, not in fear of anything, just sorry she’s not here to count the growing smiles she left behind. |

My goodness Sunshine, I did love this. You have captured such bittersweetness. For me, your poem evokes both pain and peace. You did a difficult thing beautifully---and you wrapped all in glorious Autumn. What could be better? Smiles, Constance |

Yes...oh yes. This brought tears of happy memories this colourful autumn morning. Big hugs for this Karilea. Chrislane Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

Sissie "In this week’s end, a fall into autumn will expect me to find that in nine, I shall still be here, in health, expecting even more years to greet me," No wonder the sun shines on you!  |

Wow... a reflection of a past loved one's life through the hue of Autumn... I loved this. And finally being back up north, I can get it even moreso going through my own losses and the advent of Autumn. |
