Octember Leaves are leaving and the wind is moaning as spirits swirl about. Haunting haunts town and countryside. Ghosts on the mind; ghosts in the yard; ghosts skulk the street. Hallowe’en steals color from the trees and their twigs to make a creepy way, to forge a sighing day to force a listening over your shoulder …for a growl or a scream.

Light is kind to farmer, to reader but pin-pierced sparks that stay (I’m told) and glow to gold; ought always be seen, to comfort and send an essence of sun in small beams that neither burn nor blind, but (so I’m told), only glow to gold.
