I Welcome You All to October

Do you know about October?

By Marianne LeePublished 4 days ago • Updated about 13 hours ago • 1 min read

The cold breeze passes by 

And makes you look back at it 

As it twirls into the next chapter 

You know the time has come 

For the sun to get more sleep  

And the moon to stay awake for longer 

There are changes in the atmosphere

And there is something beautiful about impermanent moments that will eventually come back

It reminds us that there is a rhythm to life and the biosphere

The streets become spicy 

As the leaves turn toasty 

While our faces blush from the cooler weather 

The leaves know when to fall

Falling ever so gracefully on the ground

Reminding us that letting go is vital for the survivors

Pumpkin spiced lattes set the mood 

Warming up your cold hands 

The steam comes up and intertwines with the crisp air 

Textured stockings, coats and heeled boots are out 

The romantic look is what Fall is all about 

Falling in love comes easier this time of year 

You enter a time when things are quiet and reflective

Everything slows down and it makes you process things

You feel renewed and younger

Apple picking and Halloween 

The activities to do are endless 

I welcome you all to the best month: October
