It’s Almost Over

October blew in
again dark and damp
and called to me of a past
my falling
(possible) memories
of a sun so warm
trying to trick my mind
still chilled
from summers
I thought could be

green leaves it seems have changed
to colors I have never seen
and oceans here still breathe in salt
and sand still tenderly calls my name
lullabies waves still rock the boats
as I stand on its welcomed shore

it’s almost over,
October has one more day
and it again will be
just a memory
for another year
that I will tuck away
in it’s fall
October has proven
not to be my friend
bitter sweet kissed days
of riding in the wind
flies without thought
to another, another, then another
a silent summer has come and gone
and winter is knocking at my door
spring it seems is my breath
and has roots to grow



just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

Sounds so sad, silent summer? Not someplaces, like N.O.

“spring it seems is my breath
and has roots to grow”

but here’s some hope, spring and rebirth, hope love is reborn in you.
Great piece
