" Autumn brings a longing
to get away from the
unreal things of life, out
into the forest at
night with a campfire
and the rustling leaves. "
Margaret Sangster
" October comes.
We’ll smell smoke then,
and feel an unexpected
sharpness, a thrill of
nervousness, swift
elation, a sense of
sadness and
departure. "
Thomas Wolfe

October is a time
to conjure.
Or is it just we
who grew where it
means Autumn's
wistful winds,
endings, and
thrill beginnings?
There are Hawaii seasons.
Even I, having lived here
just 29 years know that!
But in my magic
a rainy Oahu day
echoes Northern
climes of childhood,
soothing my soul
with grey mashed-potato
skies-
Thank YOU
for splashing
my puddle!
