Calendar pages flip from one
month to the next. The year
comes closer to the edge.
Time lasts only long enough
to be treasured, but will expire
as it always does. October is
a month to be appreciated.
The colours of the season will
only last so long. Autumn is
like that, so much so that you
forget summer was even here.

Beyond the sky,
behind your eyes, only
for a time.
Will you recognize
what has to be done
and why?
Keep looking, hard and fast,
don’t let inspiration
pass you by.

We can’t take back days we
deny ourselves the courage
to rise above ailments that
have persisted for too long
a time.
Nestled only in memory, only
our perception will allow a
greater vista than what we
have experienced.
Can we write about the past
in present tense, overlooking
our faults and frailties?
When does it become fiction,
and when will we realize
its inaccuracy?

Trust what you must, but
be wary of your volition.
Things are rarely as
they appear.
Yield to your intuition.
Your choices.
You must. Trust.
Instinct.

Nights arrive earlier.
Darkness is thicker: longer.
You have to look further to
find the light. It is there,
just not as it was.
Is anything ever as it was?
