Autumn
 
The dusk falls early this October night,
While we eat supper in dwindling daylight
Nary a sound of evening  to be heard,
No cricket voices, not even a bird.
Asleep, all, for this short day is now done.
They live not by the clock, but by the sun.
 
 
This morning, I slept late, I did not see
The ray of sun that would awaken me.
No summer morning fog, the sky is clear,
A fresh cool breeze whispers around my ear
It brings soft  words that give me renewed  hope,
Give courage, strength, and willingness to cope.
 
A peaceful season filled with  hope and cheer,
May Autumn usher in a bright new  year

Píccola says: On cold Autumn mornings, I would rather just stay in bed. But my humans make me go outside to poop and pee and then I get my feet wet. 


Large round harvest moon
Glows orange in the black night sky
Ushers in Autumn
 
Round blood moon rising
Fills black night sky with orange light
Promise or omen?
 
Soft cool breezes blow
Toss dry tree leaves to the ground
Fall cedes to winter
 
Song bird melodies
Hush to let in harsh caws, squawks
Music has fled south.

Bits of Wisdom from JM:

​Life is a meld of grief and joy.

Character will show, when ill winds blow.

The wise are at peace with self and world. 

The dark skies are never without their dark clouds.

​Darkness is an absence, not a presence.

Bad Moon Arising                                            Harvest Moon Rising
by John Fogerty                                                     midi's reply
 
I see the bad moon a-rising                              I see a harvest moon  a-rising
I see trouble on the way                                   I see that hope is on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'                         I see earthquakes and lightnin’
I see bad times today                                       I see sunshine today. 
Don't go around tonight                                    So, don’t  be afraid tonight
Well it's bound to take your life                         Don’t grieve the waning light.
There's a bad moon on the rise                        Harvest Moon is on the rise.
 
I hear hurricanes a-blowing                              I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon                         I fear the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing                                   I see rivers are not flowing,
I hear the voice of rage and ruin                       I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Well don't go around tonight                             But don’t be afraid tonight,
Well it's bound to take your life                         Don’t grieve the waning  light.
There's a bad moon on the rise                        Harvest Moon is on the rise.
 
Hope you got your things together                   Hope that you are feeling better
Hope you are quite prepared to die                  Hope you feel the Autumn air. 
Looks like we're in for nasty weather                We may be in for nasty weather,
One eye is taken for an eye                             But the wind is blowing fair.
Well don't go around tonight                            Well, don’t be afraid tonight
Well it's bound to take your life                         Don’t grieve the waning light,
There's a bad moon on the rise                        Harvest moon is on the rise.
