October arrives
Out with the heat
In with the chill
Leaves carpet the ground
Wind whips through the hills
Mere weeks ago
The summer scorched on,
His fire blazing ever bright
Now it is here
Mild days and early nights
The change is sweet
It paints my world
Orange and yellow and red
The season settles in
I look forward to the days ahead
Joyously I embrace her
Each time she greets me,
Her kiss as sweet as wine
Her fingers graze my skin
Once more she is mine
Her touch graces the town
I am surrounded by her work
Jackolanterns grin at me
Sweaters come forth from the closet
The town basks in her glory
Sugar, spice, everything nice
Await at every turn I take
Nutmeg and cinnamon
Float through the air
I cherish the time I´m living in
People unite
To share meals and memories
We remember what’s been forgotten:
The reason for the season
Breaking free from the troubles we were caught in
Rudeneja:
A season coming to visit
Whom her admirer is eager to greet
The splendor of the year
My darling Autumn, ever so sweet
