Beyond The Gate
October
October mornings awaken
Under a blanket of fog
Stirring under the moon
Balancing like birds on a wire
Extending her invitation
To gather round an old wooden table
Absorbing the earthy smells of her hearth
Apricot skies spread
Like warm jam on toast
Tantalizing the tastebuds and enticing the imagination
Window sills capture the drizzling dew of chilled air on warm panes
Like a cool glass of water leaving rings of perspiration, changing form by the fire
Daring droplets escape, finding rest in the grainy timber of her table
Outside the sky spins her magical pallette, choosing and changing colors from soft shades of amber to brilliant crimson
Like an artist lovingly doting on his latest masterpiece
Playfully, the breeze stirs the delicate, mosaic leaves
Like a gourmet meal simmering on the stove
Calling all to witness her majesty and experience the taste of her hospitality
Skillfully enticing all of the senses
Yes….
Beyond the gate, October waits
So…
What are you waiting for?
