Hating October

October sneaks in
and I don’t even
like it at all
the chill tip toes
gradually around
and surrounds you
like an invisible
wet sheet hanging
on September’s sky
and the only warmth
today I can
find anywhere
lies under the grass
in a rocky brown tomb
and you can’t go
there without
it’s heart
under your nails
and today is a
funeral to one life
the death of a season
but faith shows me
life after death
when tomorrow’s
bulbs bloom beautifully

A moment of melancholy so very well expressed ... but I hope October's colors will reach into your heart.
Love, Margherita

Even an ice age won't stop that blooming. Know that.

(big hugggsssssss) October has always been my second most difficult month, behind just September! (sad sigh) I grew up as a boy with seizures and nightmares all the time at the same time of year and this was the time! Fear not, sweet friend, for we've both made it through plenty of times already and can do it again, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
