A Beckoning October Wind
come seasons of joy
A Beckoning October Wind
And the nascent autumn
winds come blow
Twist curl up the trees
canopies bow
A gold October leaf
starts to shed
A long winter
by the hearth ahead
A lullaby love song
critters sing
A canopy bare
songbirds yet cling
A child Advent
a season of joy
A winter warmth
birthday to enjoy
A dawn of faith hope
a love manger
A three kings’ gift
gold frankincense myrrh
Winter winds on colder
nights breezing
Across landscape
white cover freezing
Longing for spring
thoughts of solitude
October wind
flowers gratitude
