Too Soon October

Lorna



Early for that faint October shiver

That creeps in like mist

With a haunting twist of mind

And so

A slightly leaden heart

Looking to the rear instead of forward

Not escaping the clamp of past fears

The sweat on the brow

Where are the hands of comfort now

Momentary panic of alone

Then tell myself before I go to sleep

That in the morning shadows will be gone

    'Looking to the rear instead of forward
    Not escaping the clamp of past fears
    The sweat on the brow
    Where are the hands of comfort now'..
    escape, from oneself - rarely: works
    best to stand firm, confront and what must be shed
    before moving on when a path, is shown..
    thanks for sharing, dear poet

    But you has not had September yet! heehee. Good write Lorna.
    I'm getting ahead a bit too - thinking of Harvest time here at end of August!

  • Fay Slimm.

    A haunting number together with your shivery autumn lament makes a really captivating posting - thanking you Lorna.

    Autumn will soon be upon us and I shall revel in Nature’s beauty that it brings to me.
