Literature Text

Autumn wends its weary way
To Winter's house of solitude;
Dark thought and barren branches
Lie waiting for October's temperate charms
To have fallen.
And in the house of silence,
The hush of coastal fog:
Held breath
The suspense of snow.
Velvet and firelight
I yearn for bright festivity
Richness and warmth
To clothe the bleak bones
Of the Empty Season.
Inward-turning
The windows of my soul
Have no view — 
A chrysalis of cold.
October has its own richness, steeped in the melancholy of waning.

Shining somewhere past the Night.
The Light is waiting.
