October 2020

I ask the rain and plead
with the cloudy sky
So many reasons to just ask why
have the days gone so fast.
in this tumble down year
that started so well?

for some it’s been pure hell.
Many others have just got by.
and my vision has tightened up
in the fall of the year
while leaves come down
like a child’s next tear.

As December draws us in
to the year’s last breath
we hold on to our
homes and our kin
knowing the season’s debt
is repaid in full
with the arrival of the next.
