I baked gingersnaps last week. Makes the house smell heavenly. Warm and inviting like autumn always seems at first. Before the heating bills come and the frenzy of the next holiday season. I kind of like that, too, but today I'll simply bask in October. Here's a poem you might like. I wrote it years ago; one day when the words wouldn't leave me alone.
Moon Dance
October drapes
her burnished skirt
stirred by an errant breeze
Bends down to earth
and offers thus
her crimson leathered leaves
Too soon the crisping
winter air will bare
the ancient bones
Of starkened limbs
that once were dressed
in vibrant greening tones
And yet once more,
beneath the moon,
all held within her trance
The aching soul
is touched
for ‘tis October’s dying dance
