Hi October, What took you so long? For a long while, you have been awaited. Summer this time quite long-lasted, Trees and leaves withered and faded. Waited for colors, waited for you, Bleakness to turn into a russet hue, Serenity in chaos was long overdue. Well, now you are here. Everything seems stopped, time and motion, And knocks a long, calm, peach and sepia session. The sky is clear but the sun is dim, Glowing for centuries, it’s now on a whim. The rise makes lives bloom, And fall feels a thoughtful gloom. A whisper of silence, your memories, On a long road like fallen oak leaves. In me, I collect bits of you, From rise to fall, from flowers to dew. I remember you without regret or pain, This is the month you come again 'n again. Oh, October! What brought you along? Some colors from a different horizon, Some fresh breezes from daisies and pansies, A graceful, vivid but peculiar composition. Dry lips but a peaceful soul. She must take much time with her hair, Some remaining curls with grace and flair. She might remember me picking up fallen leaves, Whatever the autumn brings, I know she believes. Dear October, I have her in your everyday, At least for a month, would you stay?
