October Moon

Moon of many names
Come out from your hiding

Show your face of blood
Shedding the pretense of romance

Falling leaves whisper your true nature
& changing seasons have announced

That, Ten Colds, will thin the herd,
Before the realization felleth,

That WE' are the Harvest.

    This is cold reason at its best.

    Yet: the assonance and alliterative sounds soften the message: Winter is coming and we are the flowers, dying ...

    A family member phoned me tonight saying his wife says she prays for God to rather take her ... She is suffering of cancer. I said: I understand it completely, this yearning to go Home. When Winter cuts the blooms, they shrivel to the waiting soil, in colorful surrender.

    Love
